Abstract
Salzmann’s Nodular Degeneration (SND) is a condition where a small growth like nodule forms on front surface of cornea disease progress slowly and measures 1-4 mm which is located on anterior to bowman’s layer of cornea. These are gray white to bluish in colour. Nodules are removed by superficial keratectomy under topical anaesthesia.
