  Fig. 1 Case 1. (A) Slit lamp image of left eye showing lamellar keratoplasty with recurrence of the granular deposits in the graft host interface, (B) image of left eye 52 months post-deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with full graft shown, and (C) slit lamp image of left eye 52 months post-deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty showing minor recurrence of granular deposits at the graft host interface.

• 

  Fig. 2 Case 2. (A) slit lamp image of right eye post-laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis showing granular and lattice deposits characteristic of Avellino corneal dystrophy, (B) image of right eye post-deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with graft clearly shown, and (C) slit lamp image of right eye post-deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty showing slit lamp beam through clear corneal graft.
