Abstract Purpose:To present tips for the treatment of corneal epithelial erosion in a pediatric case of Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy(RBCD).

Case:A 7-year-old girl with a family history of RBCD first presented at our hospital with recurrent bilateral corneal epithelial erosions at the age of 3. We had treated her corneal epithelial erosions using a disposable soft contact lens(DSCL)and had treated her amblyopia with hard contact lens(HCL). She had a good visual acuity at the age of 5 years.

Findings:During the follow-up period after the age of 5 years, we had scraped corneal erosion, which was suspected to be a bacterial infection in her left eye;we found that corneal opacity improved after wound healing with corneal scraping. Thereby, we speculated that debridement might help remove the deposition in the subepithelial lesion. We added the debridement of bottom of the erosion and surrounding epithelium when the corneal epithelial erosion recurred. Consequently, the corneal transparency improved after epithelial healing. We also confirmed removal of the subepithelial deposition using optical coherence tomography(OCT).

Conclusions:In pediatric RBCD, the subepithelial hyaline-like deposits can be possibly removed by corneal debridement. We suggest debridement of the bottom of the erosion before therapeutic DSCL wearing for treatment of recurrent corneal erosion in pediatric cases of RBCD. These tips may be effective in gaining time until surgical treatment can be undertaken.
