Fuchs Dystrophy and Cataract: Diagnosis, Evaluation and Treatment
Corneal endothelium plays an important role in maintaining hydration homeostasis and clarity of the cornea. Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) affects the corneal endothelium resulting in edema and characteristic excrescences on the Descemet’s ...

Abstract Late‐onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is commonly framed as a corneal endothelial disease characterised by guttae accumulation and progressive thickening of Descemet's membrane (DM). However, clinical forms and evolutionary profiles vary widely.

Delayed Candida keratitis associated with Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty
Purpose: Our purpose is to report a unique case of Candida interface keratitis that remained quiescent for 3 years after Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), within the endokeratoplasty graft itself, in a patient with underlying uveitis ...

Late onset Descemet's membrane detachment: 15 years after limbal lensectomy with vitrectomy for ROP
A case of stage 4B retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after successful retinal reattachment surgery with maintained vision presented with hazy cornea with spontaneous Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) 15 years after the surgery, requiring Descemet ...

Abstract Late‐onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common primary disease of the corneal endothelium and the leading indication for corneal transplantation in Western countries. It is characterized by progressive accumulation, over two to three decades, of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in Descemet's membrane (DM ...

Exploring the histopathological signature of repeat‐mediated Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy
Abstract Purpose To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. Methods Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from

Management of Descemet’s Membrane Detachment after Cataract Surgery—A Case Series
Descemet’s membrane detachment (DMD) is an uncommon, vision-threatening, ocular surface complication of cataract surgery. Among several treatment strategies, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) descemetopexy is the standard of care.

High throughput gene expression analysis identifies reliable expression markers of human corneal endothelial cells. [PDF]
Considerable interest has been generated for the development of suitable corneal endothelial graft alternatives through cell-tissue engineering, which can potentially alleviate the shortage of corneal transplant material.

This review charts the evolution of corneal hydrogels from passive replacements to active and intelligent systems, evaluating natural and synthetic materials while addressing design challenges such as transparency and strength. Advanced applications such as scarless wound healing, three‐dimensional bioprinting, and smart wearables are highlighted to ...

ABSTRACT The corneal endothelium is a monolayer of specialized cells that maintains stromal deturgescence and transparency, functions essential for vision. Despite its clinical importance, the developmental origins and homeostatic programs of the endothelium remain poorly understood, in part due to the lack of a lineage‐specific genetic driver.
