  Some factors believed to be associated with recurrence include fever, stress, sunlight, and eye injury. Part 3: Corneal Dystrophies Pterygium. A pterygium is a pinkish, triangular-shaped tissue growth on the cornea. [emedicinehealth.com]

  The infection causes a blistering rash (called shingles), fever, painful inflammations of the affected nerve fibers, and a general feeling of sluggishness. [columbiaeye.org]

  Boys with this corneal finding should be screened for hearing impairment and renal disease even in the absence of anterior lenticonus. [sboportal.org.br]

• Blister

  Epithelial swelling will also produce tiny blisters on the corneal surface. When these blisters burst, they are extremely painful. At first, a person with Fuchs' dystrophy will awaken with blurred vision that will gradually clear during the day. [masseyeandear.org]

  Epithelial swelling will also produce tiny blisters on the corneal surface. When these blisters burst, they are extremely painful. [healthcare.utah.edu]

  Symptoms may include: Blurry vision Distorted vision Tiny, painful blisters Cornea swelling Glare Pain Light sensitivity Common Corneal Dystrophies Fuchs’ Dystrophy Lattice Corneal Dystrophy Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy Macular Corneal Dystrophy [southtexaseye.com]

  As the disease gets worse, small blisters may form. The blisters get bigger and may eventually break. This causes eye pain. Fuchs' dystrophy can also cause the shape of the cornea to change, leading to more vision problems. [medlineplus.gov]

  This corneal swelling can also lead to the development of haze within the corneal stroma (the central layer of the cornea) or to the formation of blisters on the corneal surface. [ohsu.edu]

• Foreign Body Sensation

  In practice, the ophthalmologist manages functional symptoms such as recurrent erosions, visual loss and amblyopia, photophobia, foreign body sensation, and sometimes pain and aesthetic concerns. [em-consulte.com]

  Symptoms of RCE are foreign body sensation, light sensitivity, redness, tearing, and blurred vision. These symptoms can be extremely unpleasant. [mhei.com]

  A common symptom of an epithelial dystrophy is a painful "foreign body" sensation, which can feel like there is something in your eye. The epithelium can heal quickly so you may not experience these symptoms for very long. [rnib.org.uk]

  At advanced levels, one can even develop “blisters” on the surface, giving a foreign body sensation and pain (Fig 6). [wheatoneye.com]

  This will lead to intermittent blurry vision along with the discomfort and foreign body sensation. It usually affects adults between the ages of 40-70 but can often begin earlier. [eyecaremed.com]

Treatment by penetrating keratoplasty has a reasonable chance of success when performed early but is risky & more difficult than in adults. [slideshare.net]

SUMMARY: Clinicians must become more adept at choosing a treatment depending on different genotypes and future studies on treatment of corneal dystrophies should be focused on establishing treatment of categorized corneal dystrophies based on their chromosomal [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients who have macular dystrophy have a poor prognosis, but are unlikely to pass this dystrophy on because it is autosomal recessive. [clspectrum.com]

The prognosis varies from minimal effect on the vision to corneal blindness, with marked phenotypic variability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy findings may fluctuate but tend not to progress over time. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Recognizing a corneal dystrophy is important for prognosis of vision loss and early treatment to help avoid future vision loss. [reviewofoptometry.com]

Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) has shown its usefulness in clearing opacities with visual improvement and prevents painful erosion, resulting in delay or postponement of corneal grafting in some corneal dystrophies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention There are no preventive measures for corneal dystrophies, because they are genetic in origin. Genetic counseling is available for affected families and can be very helpful for support and information. [yoursightmatters.com]

Corneal conditions may be prevented and treated by getting thorough eye exams regularly. [uoflphysicians.com]
