title: [Update on corneal dystrophies: new insights following first publication of the IC3D classification].
abstract: In this review we summarise the new insights into corneal dystrophies following publication of the IC3D classification in 2008. Topics covered are new mutations, new clinical/histological phenotypes, first descriptions of known mutations in previously not mentioned ethnic groups, new dystrophic entities after modern corneal surgery and potentially new types of conservative therapy.
