case_images: Anterior segment photography and corneal topography of 3 patients with unilateral posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy. a Anterior segment photography of a 25-year-old male (Case 1). The left eye showed a horizontal band-like lesion at the level of Descemet's membrane and the corneal endothelium (arrowheads). b Corneal topography of case 1 revealed a bow tie, with-the-rule (WTR) astigmatism (steep K = 43.55 D x 107, flat K = 41.46 D x 17). Interestingly, the corneal astigmatism flat cylinder axis corresponded to the band lesion axis. c Corneal topography of the uninvolved eye of case 1 showed a mild WTR astigmatism (steep K = 42.83 D x 93, flat K = 42.08 D x 3). d Anterior segment photography of an 11-year-old boy (Case 2). The left eye showed a snail-track lesion at the level of Descemet's membrane along the superotemporal cornea (arrowheads). e Corneal topography of case 2 showed an asymmetric bow tie WTR astigmatism with superior steepening (steep K = 50.98 D x 95, flat K = 43.72 D x 5). f Corneal topography of the uninvolved eye of case 2 showed a mild WTR astigmatism (steep K = 46.30 D x 93, flat K = 44.76 x 3). g Anterior segment photography of a 4-year-old girl (Case 3). It showed a band-like lesion along the 40 -50  meridians at the level of Descemet's membrane (arrowheads). h Corneal topography of case 3 revealed a bow tie WTR astigmatism (steep K = 45.5 D x 95, flat K = 42.7 D x 5). i Corneal topography of the uninvolved eye of case 3 showed a mild WTR astigmatism (steep K = 44.7 D x 90, flat K = 43.1 D x 180).

case_images: Slit-lamp examination revealed a band-like lesion along the 40-50  meridians at the level of Descemet's membrane in the left eye (Fig. 1g). Corneal topography (Orbscan II) showed a bow tie WTR astigmatism (steep K = 45.50 D x 95, flat K = 42.70 D x 5; Fig. 1h) in the left eye and a more mild WTR astigmatism (steep K = 44.70 D x 90, flat K = 43.10 D x 180; Fig. 1i) in the right eye.
