Meesmann juvenile epithelial corneal dystrophy (MECD, sometimes also Stocker-Holt dystrophy) is a keratin disease.

It is named for Alois Meesmann.[1][2]

It is sometimes called "Meesmann-Wilke syndrome", after the joint contribution of Meesmann and Wilke.[1][3]

It has been associated with KRT3 and KRT12.[4]
