Pellucid marginal degeneration – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1662005062

This is a degenerative corneal condition, often confused with keratoconus. It is typically characterised by a clear, bilateral thinning (ectasia) in the inferior and peripheral region of the cornea, although some cases affect only one eye.
