  2. Fuchs' dystrophy - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Bullous keratopathy - Wikipedia

    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.

  5. Corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_dystrophy

    Different corneal dystrophies are caused by mutations in the CHST6, KRT3, KRT12, PIP5K3, SLC4A11, TACSTD2, TGFBI, and UBIAD1 genes. Mutations in TGFBI which encodes transforming growth factor beta induced cause several forms of corneal dystrophies including granular corneal dystrophy, lattice corneal dystrophy, epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, Reis-Bucklers corneal dystrophy, and Thiel ...

  6. Band keratopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_keratopathy

    Band keratopathy has several causes. These causes include uveitis, interstitial keratitis, superficial keratitis, phthisis, sarcoidosis, trauma, intraocular silicone oil, systemic diseases (high levels of calcium in the blood, vitamin D intoxication, Fanconi's Syndrome, low levels of phosphorus in the blood, gout, milk-alkali syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, and chronic mercury exposure).

  7. Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchs_heterochromic...

    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 ...

    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 ...

  9. Macular corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_corneal_dystrophy

    Macular Corneal Dystrophy is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the carbohydrate sulfotransferase gene (CHST6), resulting in abnormal proteoglycan synthesis. The accumulation of abnormal glycosaminogycans in the corneal epithelium and stroma leads to progressive opacification of the cornea and subsequent loss of ...
