E C van Pampus, and J A Schouten, and D B van Dorp, and C Mulder, and A C Beynen

A case with bilateral corneal opacification in the form of a half-ring is described. Routine laboratory tests revealed no abnormalities, and serum lipoprotein composition was normal. The authors suspect that this was a case of primary lipoidal keratopathy.
