The International classification of corneal dystrophies (CD) was published by the International committee for classification of corneal dystrophies (IC3D) in the Journal CORNEA in 2008. In the meantime, we propose some revisions. I`d like to present the main points: 1. New general classification of CD 2. Spliting of ERED (epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy) into distinct entities 3. The so‐called epithelial‐stromal TGFBI dystrophies 4. Revision of Thiel‐Behnke CD 5. Lattice lines in granular CD, type 2 ? 6. Revision of congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED): the so‐called CHED 1 = eponym of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD).
