Slit lamp photographs and AS OCT images of the dystrophic corneas from IV:6 (a, c), III:10 (b, d) and age-matched healthy relatives IV:9 (e), and III:9 (f). a slit lamp photography of the right eye of IV:6. b slit lamp photography of the left eye of III:10. c AS OCT image of the same eye of (a). Arrowheads indicate hyper-reflective signals correspond with dystrophic opacity presenting at the level of Bowman’s layer. d AS OCT image of the same eye of (b). Hyper-reflective signals pointed by arrowheads involving both Bowman’s layer and superficial cornea. In underlying corneal stroma, the generally increased stromal reflectivity (pointed by blue arrows) is also observed. The thickness values of epithelium plus hyper-reflective signals and residue stroma thickness are labelled, respectively
