Fuchs dystrophy is a progressive eye disorder affecting the cornea’s endothelial cells, essential for maintaining its clarity and transparency. The condition leads to a gradual loss of these cells, resulting in fluid accumulation and swelling within the cornea. As the cornea becomes increasingly cloudy, it can severely impair vision and cause symptoms such as blurred vision, glare, and discomfort. Typically developing slowly over the course of years, Fuchs dystrophy can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life as the disease advances. Effective treatment is crucial for managing symptoms, halting progression, and restoring corneal clarity.
