According to the IC3D classification the group of the stromal corneal dystrophies include: TGFBI corneal dystrophies, Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD), Schnyder corneal dystrophy (SCD), Congenital stromal corneal dystrophy (CSCD), Fleck corneal dystrophy (FCD), Posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy (PACD), Central cloudy dystrophy of François (CCDF) and Pre‐Descemet corneal dystrophy (PDCD). The lecture summarizes the clinical data of each corneal dystrophy with the referral to the genetic analysis, histological exam and modern non invasive optical imaging techniques as long as presents current treatment options.
