title: [Corneal dyskeratosis].
abstract: Isolated dyskeratosis of the cornea is more frequent than is generally recognized. Our observations show that corneal dyskeratosis can originate from insufficient tear secretion. Also, trophic disturbances together with a mucus deficiency of the tear-film may be the cause. With regard to the treatment of dyskeratoses, the etiological factors should be taken into account. Isolated dyskeratosis of the cornea cannot be considered a precancerosis.
