    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchs'_dystrophy

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_dystrophy

    Recurrent corneal erosions may occur. The hallmark of Schnyder corneal dystrophy is the accumulation of crystals within the corneal stroma which cause corneal clouding typically in a ring-shaped fashion. [citation needed] Posterior corneal dystrophies – Fuchs corneal dystrophy presents during the fifth or sixth decade of life. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullous_keratopathy

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_corneal_erosion

    Most cases of recurrent corneal erosion are acquired. There is often a history of recent corneal injury, such as corneal abrasion or ulcer, but also may be idiopathic or due to corneal dystrophy or corneal disease. In other words, one may develop corneal erosions as a result of another disorder, such as epithelial basement membrane dystrophy ...

    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 ...

    Pellucid marginal degeneration, a bilateral, noninflammatory disorder, characterized by a peripheral band of thinning of the inferior cornea. [ 4 ] Posterior keratoconus, a rare condition, usually congenital, which causes a nonprogressive thinning of the inner surface of the cornea, while the curvature of the anterior surface remains normal.

    Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD; sometimes also Schlichting dystrophy) is a type of corneal dystrophy, characterised by changes in Descemet's membrane and endothelial layer. Symptoms mainly consist of decreased vision due to corneal edema. In some cases they are present from birth, other patients are asymptomatic.
