Abstract

AbstractMonoclonal gammopathies are much more common than previously known in Ophthalmology. In the so‐called benign form or MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance) different corneal opacities can be observed, in which the patients having no subjective symptoms or conspicuous systemic findings other than corneal opacities which were summarized as Paraproteinemic Keratopathy (PPK). It is therefore to be demanded that in all elderly patients with bilateral unclear corneal findings, Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPE) should be performed to include or exclude monoclonal gammopathy.
