ABSTRACT
Corneal dystrophies are a group of rare genetic eye disorders characterized by the accumulation of abnormal material in different layers of the cornea, potentially leading to vision impairment. In vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is an emerging non-invasive imaging and diagnostic tool that helps study the ocular surface microstructure. This case report examines the clinical characteristics of Avellino corneal dystrophy in a young patient through the use of slit lamp examination, IVCM, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in order to assess the effectiveness of these non-invasive tests as diagnostic tools.
