Anterior segment photography of TMD at various stages. (a) Normal eyes; (b) TMD at Stage I: the gray-white turbidity at the corneal margin parallel to the corneal limbus (black arrow); (c) TMD at Stage II: the sulcus shape of the cornea was thinned, and there was lipid deposition in the sulcus (white arrow); (d) TMD at Stage III: the cornea in the lesion zone became thinner to form one or more bulging zones with a width of 1.5–3 mm or above (red arrow); (e) TMD at Stage IV: the marginal cornea was further thinned (blue arrow), with protruded central cornea.
