The most common is lipid dystrophy, the presence of cholesterol in the middle layer of the cornea. It consists of the presence of a central or eccentric opacity of variable sizes, sometimes so very slight that is barely distinguishable and others more notorious with a shiny sparkling appearance resembling sugar crystals. It usually occurs in both eyes, but not always symmetrically.
Its origin is generally hereditary and when the lesion is progressive, an analysis of lipids and lipoproteins must be performed.
In the majority of cases, the pet does not show any discomfort and its vision is not affected as long as the distrophy does not increase in diameter and density.
