Keratomalacia and corneal perforation in vitamin A deficiency: Anterior-segment optical-coherence-tomography and histological findings

Keratomalacia leading to corneal perforation is a rare, but possible complication also in countries with sufficient general food supply. The clinico-pathological correlation between AS-OCT and histological findings in patients with VAD is shown in this case series. Typical Bitot's spots were present only in one patient and can be visualized by AS-OCT.
