title: A case of one eye with gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy and the other eye with band-shaped spheroidal corneal degeneration.
abstract: The first case of gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy in one eye and band-shaped spheroidal corneal degeneration in the other eye was reported. She was a member of Japanese family with gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy. A close association between gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy and band-shaped spheroidal corneal degeneration was suggested.
