Corneal dystrophies are a group of inherited eye disorders that affect the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. These conditions lead to the accumulation of abnormal material in the cornea, which can cause vision problems, discomfort, and light sensitivity. Symptoms often develop slowly and may vary in severity among individuals. There are several types of corneal dystrophies, including Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, and treatment options may include eye drops, contact lenses, or surgery, depending on the type and severity of the condition.
