👁 What is Schnyder Crystalline Corneal Dystrophy (SCCD)?Schnyder Crystalline Corneal Dystrophy (SCCD) is a rare genetic disorderin which sparkling, needle-like cholesterol or lipid crystalsaccumulate in the central cornea, often creating a shimmering appearance.🔍 FeaturesAutosomal dominant inheritance, but sporadic cases can occurCrystals are composed of cholesterol or lipids,deposited in the ..

👁 What is Fleck Corneal Dystrophy (FCD)?Fleck Corneal Dystrophy (FCD) is a rare, inherited corneal conditionin which small, freckle-like grayish opacities appear throughout the corneal stroma.🧬 Key CharacteristicsOpacities are confined to the stroma, not affecting the epitheliumThey are scattered throughout all stromal layers, often asymmetricallyUsually bilateral, but can also appear unilater..

👁 What is Posterior Amorphous Stromal Dystrophy (PASD)?Posterior Amorphous Stromal Dystrophy (PASD) is a rare, inherited corneal conditioncharacterized by irregular, grayish, wave-like opacities in the posterior corneal stroma.🧬 Inheritance and OnsetOften present at birth or early childhoodPassed down through autosomal dominant inheritance 🔍 Key FeaturesOpacities are limited to the posterior ..

👶 What is Congenital Stromal Corneal Dystrophy (CSCD)?Congenital Stromal Corneal Dystrophy (CSCD) is a very rare genetic eye disorderpresent from birth, characterized by snowflake or feather-like stromal opacitiesappearing bilaterally in both the central and peripheral cornea.🔍 What happens in CSCD?Vision is often poor from early infancyIt can interfere with normal visual development, leading ..
