Purpose: Multiple gene mutations are involved in corneal dystrophies. We studied 4 cases in 3 pedigrees of Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy.

Cases and Findings: All the 4 cases were diagnosed with Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy by slit-lamp ex-amination. They were aged 7,26,50 and 51 years respectively. All the cases had recurrent attacks of corneal erosion since early childhood and subepithelial corneal opacity. All the cases had heterozygous Arg555Gln (R555Q) mutation.

Conclusion: Recurrent corneal erosion and subepithelial corneal opacity were characteristic features in the present series of Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy. All the cases had a point mutation in codon 555 of the kerato-epithelin gene.
