Abstract
A 62-year-old Japanese man presented for refractive evaluation. His best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Slit-lamp evaluation of the cornea revealed bilateral deep stromal haze centrally in a mosaic pattern with intervening cracklike clear zones. The patient was diagnosed with posterior crocodile shagreen. This case highlights the importance for clinicians to be aware of posterior crocodile shagreen as central posterior corneal cloudiness.
