Authors report a family in which three members presented a type I Corneal Distrophy of Groenouw; two of them also presented a delection of short arms of a 22 chromosome, while the third presented the delection but not the corneal distrophy. The absence of relationship between the corneal distrophy and the 22 delection in this family proves that the latter is a familial marker, not being the cause of the disease.

Keratoconus is the most common corneal distrophy. It's a noninflammatory progressive thinning process that leads to conical ectasia of the cornea, causing high myopia and astigmatism. Many treatment choices include spectacle correction and contact lens wear, collagen cross linking, intracorneal ring segments implantation and finally keratoplasty.

Disorders of lipid metabolism, either hyperlipidemia or hypolipidemia, are associated with the formation of corneal opacities. Corneal arcus, the most commonly encountered peripheral corneal opacity, is frequently associated with abnormal serum lipid levels, but may occur without any predisposing factors. Reports also have linked corneal arcus with alcoholism, diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic heart disease.
