A female patient in the age group 55-60 years presented to us with blurring of vision in both eyes. On slit-lamp examination, numerous circular to oval fleck-like discrete blue opacities at the level of deep corneal stroma and Descemet's membrane was observed. These lesions were predominantly seen in the central two-thirds of the cornea. Considering the age of presentation and the clinical features, the probable diagnosis of 'deep blue dot corneal degeneration' was made.
