Three corneal transplant patients developed white, crystalline, anterior stromal lesions in their grafts while receiving long-term topical corticosteroid therapy. A presumed diagnosis of infectious crystalline keratopathy was made in each case. However, histologic examination of the lesions failed to show gram-positive cocci. A fungal infiltrate was present in the first two patients, and calcium deposits produced the lesion in the third patient.
