Fuchs dystrophy, also referred to as Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED), is a slowly progressing corneal dystrophy that usually affects both eyes and is slightly more common in women than in men. Although early signs of Fuchs dystrophy are sometimes seen in people in their 30s and 40s, the disease ...

(H16.0) Corneal ulcer / Corneal abrasion — loss of the surface epithelial layer of the eye's cornea (H16.1) Snow blindness / Arc eye — a painful condition caused by exposure of unprotected eyes to bright light (H16.1) Thygeson's superficial punctate keratopathy (H16.4) Corneal neovascularization (H18.5) Fuchs' dystrophy — cloudy morning ...
Bullous keratopathy, also known as pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK), is a pathological condition in which small vesicles, or bullae, are formed in the cornea due to endothelial dysfunction. In a healthy cornea, endothelial cells keeps the tissue from excess fluid absorption, pumping it back into the aqueous humor.
Posterior corneal dystrophies – Fuchs corneal dystrophy presents during the fifth or sixth decade of life. The characteristic clinical findings are excrescences on a thickened Descemet membrane (cornea guttae), generalized corneal edema and decreased visual acuity.
Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) is a disorder of the eye that can cause pain and dryness. EBMD, also known as map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy and Cogan microcystic epithelial dystrophy , is a corneal epithelial disease that may result in recurrent corneal erosions , irregular corneal astigmatism , and decreased vision.
The Chandler variant of ICE is characterized by pathology on the inner surface of the cornea leading to abnormal endothelial pump function. [2] [5] Other features include possible mild iris changes, corneal edema, and normal to slight elevations in intraocular pressure. [1] [5] Cogan-Reese variant is characterized by multiple pigmented iris ...
Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis (FHI) is a chronic unilateral uveitis appearing with the triad of heterochromia, predisposition to cataract and glaucoma, and keratitic precipitates on the posterior corneal surface. Patients are often asymptomatic and the disease is often discovered through investigation of the cause of the heterochromia or ...
