Six patients with RBCD and three patients with TBCD exhibited recurrence after corneal surgery including penetrating keratoplasty, phototherapeutic keratectomy, and electrolysis. All patients were examined by slit-lamp biomicroscopy followed by AS-OCT. Selected AS-OCT images of the cornea were evaluated qualitatively for changes in shape and degree of light reflection of corneal deposits.Results: Slit-lamp biomicroscopy showed characteristic irregular gray opacities in Bowman’s layer in each dystrophy: a geographic pattern in RBCD and a honeycomb pattern in TBCD. In each dystrophy, distinct characteristic deposits were observed by AS-OCT as a banding lesion in Bowman’s layer and its adjacent epithelium/stroma. In RBCD, the banding lesion was highly reflective and sharply margined at the stroma. In contrast, deposits in TBCD in the same layer showed a saw-tooth pattern toward the epithelium and poorly margined at the stroma.Conclusion: AS-OCT is able to clearly identify characteristic in vivo corneal microstructural changes associated with RBCD and TBCD. As a result, in vivo differentiation of RBCD and TBCD can be achieved.Keywords: Reis–Bücklers corneal dystrophy, Thiel–Behnke corneal dystrophy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography, genetic mutational analysis, human transforming growth factor beta-induced gene, TGFBINishino TKobayashi AMori NYokogawa HSugiyama KDove Medical Pressarticlereis-bücklers corneal dystrophythiel-behnke corneal dystrophyanterior segment optical coherence tomographygenetic mutational analysishuman transforming growth factor beta-induced genetgfbiOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 2601-2607 (2020)
