Diagnosis: More advanced bandshaped keratopathy OD

Image Comments:

This photo shows a more advanced stage of bandshaped keratopathy with incipient calcium deposits. Bandshaped keratopathy most frequently occurs in eyes with longstanding intraocular inflammation. The patient is from the Himalayan hill country and demonstrates an epicanthal fold characteristic of India's Mongoloid population.

calcium has not been visibly deposited in this much fainter bandshaped keratopathy.
