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,

Evolution of Ocular Organ‐On‐Chip Systems for Disease Modelling and Drug Testing: Where are We Now?
The rise in ophthalmic diseases due to aging, screen use, and environmental factors has driven demand for better ocular models. Traditional systems fall short, encouraging the development of organ‐on‐chip devices. These microfluidic platforms replicate eye tissue architecture, enable drug screening, and simulate ocular diseases.

Cataract surgery in patients with Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy
Cataract surgery risks corneal decompensation in patients with Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy, but it can also be combined with endothelial keratoplasty to address the condition.

Purpose: Report a case where the patient desired spectacle independence after phacoemulsification and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) due to Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy.

Long-term results of corneal wedge resections for the correction of high astigmatism [PDF]
We retrospectively evaluated 41 corneal wedge resections, performed for the correction of high astigmatism in 40 patients who were spectacle and contact lens intolerant. Keratometric astigmatism decreased from an average of 11.7 diopters (range 5 to 22.5

ABSTRACT Background To establish normative values for stromal curvature and its relationships to anterior and posterior curvature. Methods Retrospective observational study. Data were obtained from 75 eyes of cataract surgery patients using a high‐resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomograph (AS‐OCT; MS‐39, CSO).

Anterior Keratocyte Depletion in Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy [PDF]
To determine if keratocyte populations are different in corneas with Fuchs dystrophy compared with control corneas.Eleven corneas excised during penetrating keratoplasty for Fuchs dystrophy and 5 control corneas of eyes enucleated for choroidal melanoma were examined using light microscopy.

ABSTRACT Introduction We aimed to evaluate biophysical compatibility of corneal endothelial cells in genetically‐engineered (GE) pigs to identify the best candidate for in vivo nonhuman primate (NHP) study and to collect baseline data for future clinical trials from a biological function perspective.
