title: Labrador keratopathy: clinical and pathological findings.
abstract: The clinical and pathological features of Labrador keratopathy are described. Some indication is given of the frequency of the condition in Northern Newfoundland and Labrador. The histopathology, based on light and electron microscopy of five specimens, is illustrated. The findings support an origin for the globular deposits in the stroma and Bowman's layer rather than the epithelium.
