Sign InDescription
Epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy is characterized by frequent painful recurrent corneal erosions, with onset in the first decade of life and subsequent gradual decrease in frequency, with cessation in the third or fourth decade. Small gray anterior stromal flecks associated with larger focal gray-white disc-shaped, circular, or wreath-like lesions with central clarity, in the Bowman layer and immediately subjacent anterior stroma, varying from 0.2 to 1.5 mm in diameter, appear to be clinically diagnostic of ERED (Oliver et al., 2016).
