A differential of righ shaped opacities is discussed. The second case presents a patient with multiple white stromal opacities in the cornea. The diagnosis of MGUS is discussed. The third case covers a post-LASIK, post-cataract surgery patient who now presents with irregular astigmatism. A penetrating keratoplasty was performed with less than ideal results. The post-operative management of this penetrating keratoplasty is described.
