Cornea verticillata

Cornea verticillata, also called vortex keratopathy or whorl keratopathy, is a condition characterised by corneal deposits at the level of the basal epithelium forming a faint golden-brown whorl pattern. It is seen in Fabry disease or in case of prolonged amiodarone intake. Furthermore, it is a common adverse side effect of the use of rho-kinase inhibitors in glaucoma therapy.

No ocular complaints or visual difficulty is usually present.

This keratopathy is probably a type of drug-induced lipidosis.
