title: The corneal dystrophy of Waardenburg and Jonkers.
abstract: The dystrophy in 1961 described by Waardenburg and Jonkers in considered in the literature as a separate dystrophy by some authors and as an atypical form of granular dystrophy by others. That it is in fact the first description of, and synonymous with, the honeycomb dystrophy (Thiel and Behnke), in the English-language literature usually called Reis-Bücklers' dystrophy, was proven by reinvestigation of the family concerned.
