Congenital cornea plana: case report

Purpose: To report two cases of bilateral cornea plana with high hypermetropia. Case report: Two members of the same family showed se-vere corneal flattening, limbal "scleralization". The sha-lowness of the anterior chamber, deep stromal corneal opacities and upper lid with ptotic appearance besides the familial distribuition are supposed to agree with the documented description of the recessive variety of cornea plana. Discussion: The management of the cornea plana is discussed.
