Lattice corneal dystrophy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1247885635

This is a rare form of corneal dystrophy. It has no systemic manifestations, unlike the other type of the dystrophy, Lattice corneal dystrophy type II. Lattice dystrophy gets its name from an accumulation of amyloid deposits, or abnormal protein fibres, throughout the middle and anterior stroma.
