A 21-year-old man, with bilateral posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy, was studied by biomicroscopy, corneal topography and in vivo confocal microscopy. The best-corrected visual acuity was 6/21 in the right eye and 6/6.9 in the left eye. Biomicroscopy revealed bilateral, asymmetric, sheet-like opacification at the deep posterior stromal layer. The corneal topography displayed asymmetric against-the-rule astigmatism in the right eye and prominent steepening at the inferior paracentral cornea in both eyes. In vivo confocal microscopy of the corneas demonstrated microfolds and hyper-reflective layer at the posterior stroma just adjacent to the endothelial layer. The epithelium, Bowman's membrane, anterior stroma and the endothelial layer were normal. In vivo confocal microscopy is useful in evaluating the corneal dystrophies.
