What Is Salzman's Nodule Degeneration?

Salzmann’s nodular degeneration (SND) is a slowly progressive corneal degeneration that has been associated with ocular surface inflammation and trauma but also can be idiopathic. Management includes observation in asymptomatic patients, medical treatment with lubricants or topical medications, and surgical treatment with superficial keratectomy.
