MEESMANN CORNEAL DYSTROPHY

Alternate names

MEESMANN CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Is also known as mecd, juvenile hereditary epithelial dystrophy of meesmann, meesmann corneal dystrophy, corneal dystrophy, meesmann epithelial, corneal dystrophy, juvenile epithelial, of meesmann

Description

Meesmann corneal dystrophy (MECD) is a rare form of superficial corneal dystrophy characterized by distinct tiny bubble-like, round-to-oval punctate bilateral opacities in the central corneal epithelium, and to a lesser extent in the peripheral cornea, with little impact on vision.

Most common symptoms of MEESMANN CORNEAL DYSTROPHY

  • Pain
  • Reduced visual acuity
  • Photophobia
  • Scarring
  • Corneal opacity
