Fuchs' dystrophy
Fuchs' dystrophy is a genetic eye disorder that affects the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. It typically develops slowly and can lead to vision problems as the cells in the cornea begin to deteriorate. This condition is more common in women and usually appears in middle age or later.
As the disease progresses, patients may experience symptoms such as blurred vision, glare, and sensitivity to light. In severe cases, corneal transplant surgery may be necessary to restore clear vision. Early diagnosis and monitoring are essential for managing the condition effectively.
