!--[if gte mso 9]> Climatic droplet keratopathy (CDK) is an acquireddegenerative disease predominantlyaffecting males over 40 years old. It results in progressive corneal opacities usuallyaffecting both eyes. CDK is multifactorial and its etiology remains unknown.Our recent findings are consistent with CDK being an environmental rather thana climatic corneal pathology. Corneal lipids are affected by environmental factorand remain understudied. The purpose of this study was tosystematically investigate phospholipids profile [phosphatidylcholine (PC
