These two cases highlight the importance of a thorough family history and a full systemic work-up in a patient with bilateral symmetrical lipid keratopathy. The co-existence of rheumatic fever and anti-phospholipid syndrome has been studied in literature but, their presence along with lipid keratopathy has not been previously described. It requires further research whether they have an association or it was just an incidental finding.
