Abstract

Isolated microcornea is a very rarely-described condition of reduced cornea size (less than 11 mm horizontal diameter) in an individual without other significant ocular (or systemic) findings. This case report describes the biometric features of a boy with isolated microcornea (the youngest and most completely described patient to the best of our knowledge) and suggests that the condition is the same entity as relative anterior microphthalmos.
