Clinical phenotypes. a. Pre-operative photograph of the right eye of IV.3 demonstrating ill-defined corneal stromal opacities. b. Cornea of IV.3. Hale’s colloidal iron 20x. The presence of the granular deposits (arrows) are highlighted by a Hale’s colloidal iron stain. c. Cornea of IV.3. Hale’s colloidal iron 100x. Higher magnification demonstrates the presence of the granular deposits (arrows) among the lamellae of the substantia propria and within the corneal endothelium. d. Control cornea: Hale’s colloidal iron 40x. Control cornea stained with Hale’s colloidal iron fails to identify the presence of basophilic deposits within the substantia propria
