Rho-Kinase Inhibitors in the Management of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy: A Review [PDF]
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common corneal endothelial dystrophy. It is characterized by the progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells (CECs), guttae formation on the Descemet membrane, and corneal edema, leading to visual ...
