A 54-year-old male experienced bilateral recurrent epithelial erosion, pain, photophobia and progressive loss of vision for 20 years. He underwent penetrating keratoplasty of left eye. A histopathological examination of the excised host cornea disclosed eosinophilic deposits in the stroma which stained positively with Congored, PAS and Homatoxylin-Eosin and proved to be a case of corneal lattice dystrophy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of corneal lattice dystrophy in Taiwan.
