Abstract
Sclerocornea is an uncommon congenital anomaly characterized by non progressive, noninflammatory, and unilateral or bilateral opacities of the peripheral, central, or entire cornea with deep or superficial vascularization. Sclerocornea may be a part of the mesodermal dysgenesis syndrome. Many ocular and systemic abnormalities have been described in association with sclerocornea. The authors present a case of sclerocornea of both eyes in a 26-year-old male with familial tendency. In this patient cornea plana, esotropia, and amblyopia were associated with sclerocornea.
