Preclinical Models for Studying Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy. [PDF]
Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) is a corneal endothelial disease that causes microenvironment alterations and endothelial cell loss, which leads to vision impairment. It has a high global prevalence, especially in elderly populations.

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy: The vicious cycle of Fuchs pathogenesis
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common primary corneal endothelial dystrophy and the leading indication for corneal transplantation worldwide. FECD is characterized by the progressive decline of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) and the formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) excrescences in Descemet's membrane (DM), called guttae,

Phototherapeutic keratectomy for anterior stromal fibrosis following DMEK
Purpose: Anterior stromal fibrosis is often seen in advanced cases of Fuchs endothelial dystrophy or secondary endothelial insufficiency. As Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) can completely eliminate the corneal edema and the guttae in ...
