“…Henderson [1962, 1963] described also the lesions as degenerated and hyalinized corneal nerves. For other authors the change of the nerves may be secondary [Hughes, 1962: Petursson, 1967. According to Petursson [1967] the nervous theory is sustained by the fact that the recurrent epithelial erosions may be present before the typicalattice lesions.…”

The ultrastructural changes in lattice dystrophy of the cornea are mainly characterized by stromal changes. (I) Some keratocytes show distinct signs of cellular activity with a more abundant cytoplasm and more organelles, while others show a pronounced degeneration with a cytoplasm containing numerous vesicles of various electron-density. (2) There is a fine fibrillar degeneration, amyloid in nature, with strongly interwoven fine fibrils having 80–100 Å in diameter. (3) In many areas this fine fibrillar degeneration is associated with areas of mottled appearance, probably due to cross-sectioned collagen fibrils in various stages of degeneration.
