Corneal flattening or thinning and endothelial opacities may also be present. A prominent Schwalbe’s line, as well as iris and angle findings, may also be present. [reviewofcontactlenses.com]

LCD variants present later in life than classic LCD. LCD type IIIA presents in the 5th-7th decade, usually with epithelial erosions. It has thicker lattice lines, described as "ropy-appearing", which extends to the limbus. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

  It is not clear why a single mutation can cause several corneal opacity patterns. However, atypical corneal opacity patterns may be characteristic of late-onset lattice corneal dystrophies. [molvis.org]

  Slit lamp examination of the corneas will be performed, and the presence or absence of corneal opacities, whether characteristic or not of a TGFBI dystrophy, will be documented on the CRF form. [clinicaltrials.gov]

  Corneal erosions are very painful and can cause sensitivity to bright light (photophobia). Lattice corneal dystrophy type I is usually bilateral, which means it affects both eyes. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  In addition, the RCEs themselves cause pain and photophobia. Treatment is always case specific, but it is initially aimed at treating the RCEs to reduce the pain and photophobia. [reviewofoptometry.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: Most patients require no treatment. Persistent epithelial erosions can be treated with hypertonic solutions or bandage lenses. References [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Vision slowly deteriorates, but treatment is not usually necessary until the seventh or eighth decade of life. [reviewofoptometry.com]

Treatment focuses on relieving erosions with antibiotics and bandage contact lenses. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Onset of corneal changes in lattice corneal dystrophy type II occurs at age 30-40 years, but most patients do not experience symptoms until their seventh decade of life. [2] Prognosis Lattice corneal dystrophy demonstrates variable penetrance and expression [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]

Therefore, any unusual pattern of corneal opacities associated with corneal neovascularization is not a dystrophy and clinicians should investigate other etiologies. [reviewofoptometry.com]

The IC3D does not contain epidemiological data; however, the prevalence of rare conditions, such as corneal dystrophies, is usually either unknown or simply estimated, although many are known to be more prevalent in certain populations. [reviewofcontactlenses.com]

Thus, LCD1 seems to represent an epithelial-stromal entity, because both, the epithelial cells and keratocytes are pathophysiologically involved. [iovs.arvojournals.org]
