Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and corneal endothelial diseases: East meets West [PDF]
Eye, 2019 Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is amongst one of the most common indications for endothelial keratoplasty worldwide. Despite being originally described among Caucasians, it is now known to be prevalent among a large number of populations, including Asians.
