Fuchs' Dystrophy
Fuchs' Dystrophy is a progressive eye condition that affects the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. It occurs when the cells in the cornea's inner layer, called the endothelium, become damaged or die. This leads to fluid buildup, causing the cornea to swell and become cloudy, which can result in vision problems.
Symptoms of Fuchs' Dystrophy often develop slowly and may include blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. The condition is more common in older adults and can be hereditary. Treatment options range from eye drops to surgical procedures, depending on the severity of the disease.
