Concurrent bilateral keratoconus and granular dystrophy is reported in a 32-year-old patient with decreased vision. Initially contact lenses were attempted unsuccessfully to treat the conditions. There are a handful of other reports of these combined pathologies in the literature, and the likelihood of a chance cause or possible genetic linkage between the conditions is discussed.

Purpose: To analyze different tomographic and refractive parameters for predicting successful visual outcome following femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) for post-keratoplasty astigmatism.
Design: Retrospective.
Methods: Retrospective study evaluating patients with astigmatism following penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) who underwent FSAK.

Aim: To analyse complications in patients managed with deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for diseases of anterior corneal stroma.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of all the patients who underwent DALK in a tertiary care center in South India from 2010 to 2021. A total of 484 eyes in 378 patients were included in the study.

Purpose: To evaluate the corneal biomechanical features of eyes with granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (GCD2) by analyzing corneal biomechanical indices obtained using a Corvis ST (CST) dynamic ultra-high-speed Scheimpflug imaging device.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 35 CST parameters were compared in normal eyes (control) and eyes of patients with GCD2 treated at Osaka University Hospital, Osaka, Japan. The parameters included the Corvis Biomechanical Index (CBI), which is important in differentiating eyes with keratoconus from normal eyes.
