The Honeycomb Type of Reis-Bücklers’ Dystrophy of the Cornea: Biometrics and an Interpretation

Abstract
Corneal thickness increases with advancing age in patients with the honeycomb type of Reis-BÜcklers’ dystrophy, affecting visual acuity. A linear relationship is found between these parameters. Also, corneal sensitivity decreases with increasing corneal thickness. The latter may be an import factor in the decrease of ocular irritation later in life in these patients.
