  An abnormal sensitivity to light (photophobia) and the sensation of foreign material within the eye may also occur. [cornealdystrophyfoundation.org]

  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]

  Patient remains asymptomatic until epithelial erosions precipitate acute episodes of ocular hyperemia, pain, and photophobia. [ipfs.io]

  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]

• Blurred Vision

  Progressive visual loss. Guttae alone may not cause corneal edema, and mild cornea edema may not result in decreased vision. More severe disease associated with decreased vision often has epithelial and stromal edema and fibrosis. [journals.lww.com]

• Diplopia

  Some individuals may have decreased clarity of vision (visual acuity), blurred vision, and double vision affecting only one eye (monocular diplopia). [cornealdystrophyfoundation.org]

  Symptoms EBMD can be asymptomatic, associated with painful erosive episodes and/or may cause decreased vision by inducing mild irregular astigmatism (monocular diplopia, “ghost” images). [journals.lww.com]

  Because the stroma between is relatively clear early on, vision is fairly good until later in life when the lattice lines spread to the periphery of the cornea and amyloid plaques form. [reviewofoptometry.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: Recurrent corneal erosions benefit from standard treatments while penetrating keratoplasty may be necessary by the fifth decade to improve acuity. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

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