Abstract. Background:Acute corneal hydrops mainly develops in eyes with keratoconus at an early age. Purpose:To report a case of acute corneal hydrops in a middle-aged case of Down syndrome. Case:A 47-year-old woman presented with sudden impairment of vision in her right eye. She had received cataract surgery in both eyes 3 years before. She had Down syndrome and had the habit to rub the eyes. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was unmeasurable in the right eye and 0.08 left. The right cornea showed edema and opacity. Review of clinical records showed gradually progressive keratoconus. Impaired vision in the right eye seemed to be due to acute corneal hydrops. Conclusion:This case illustrates that acute hydrops is a possibility in patients of Down syndrome with habitual eye-rubbing.
