RESUMEN

Cornea plana (CP) is a rare ocular condition existing in two distinct clinical and hereditary forms: a milder, autosomal dominant type I and a more severe, autosomal recessive type II. The condition is more commonly found in Finnish, Saudi, and Czech families. We report three brothers from a consanguineous marriage that presented with complaints of decreased vision of varying degrees. All three of them have blue, thick, and hazy corneas with shallow anterior chamber depths. The additional features of CP type II were seen in the older two brothers including arcus lipoids, ill-demarcated limbus, and an accommodative squint. They were managed by the correction of refractive errors through spectacles and detailed counseling with follow-up visits to look for progressive complications. The management is mainly centered around optically or surgically correcting the developmental anomalies. This is complimented with proper genetic counseling and regular follow-up visits to look for and manage complications. There are, however, novel therapies that can be considered in these patients including corneal transplants or corneal stromal stem cellular therapies.
