Abstract
A 5-year-old girl presented with treatment-refractory dry eye and recurrent episodes of eye pain. She had been previously diagnosed with syndromic congenital sodium diarrhea (SCSD) caused by a pathogenic variant in SPINT2. Her local pediatric ophthalmologist had made the diagnosis of severe dry eye with corneal erosions, based on which, we arranged an eye exam under anesthesia (EUA) and punctal plug placement. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) and corneal photographs were taken during the procedure. There are reports describing similar ophthalmic findings in this syndrome. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report to document OCT imaging and corneal photographs in a patient with SCSD, which we feel expands the ophthalmic phenotype of this rare genetic disorder.

Abstract
Corneal dystrophies are a rare group of hereditary disorders, that are bilateral, non-inflammatory, and progressive. Clinically, they can be classified based on the anatomic layer of the cornea affected. Refractive surgery and phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) can be performed with caution in patients with certain corneal dystrophies, but should be avoided in others. For epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is the procedure of choice for treatment of refractive error, and PTK may be performed for the treatment of recurrent erosions or irregular astigmatism. PRK and laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) have been associated with exacerbation of combined granular-lattice corneal dystrophy. LASIK and PRK appear to be safe in mild forms of posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy, whereas LASIK should be avoided in Fuchs dystrophy. The safety of refractive surgery and PTK in the remainder of epithelial, Bowman layer, and stromal dystrophies has yet to be established.
