The invention relates to a DNA library for detecting and diagnosing corneal dystrophy disease-causing genes as well as application of the DNA library. The library comprises 24 disease-causing genes related to corneal dystrophy; 24 corneal dystrophy disease-causing genes are preferably selected, a probe pool is designed, a target area library aiming at the 24 corneal dystrophy disease-causing genesis established, and the library performs sequencing by a high-throughput sequencing technology, looks for disease-cause mutation and provides genetic and molecular biological basis for clinical diagnosis. The library has the characteristics of accuracy, rapidness, flexibility and low cost; 24 gene detection areas can detect various kinds of common corneal dystrophy such as epithelial and subepithelial corneal dystrophy, Bowman's membrane corneal dystrophy, stromal corneal dystrophy, descemet's membrane and corneal endothelium dystrophy; and important significance and clinical value in diagnosis and differential diagnosis on the corneal dystrophy are achieved.
