Fuchs角膜内皮营养不良(Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, FECD)是一种非炎症性的AD遗传或散发的角膜疾病,通常在40岁后才发现或出现症状(眼痛、眩光、光晕、视力下降等),至60-70岁可能才需要手术治疗。 正常角膜与FECD病理改变对照示意图:FECD内皮细胞加速丢失,从中央蔓延至周边,剩余细胞失去六边形特性,细...
If you have been diagnosed with Fuchs' corneal dystrophy, be sure to discuss this with your eye doctor if you are consideringLASIKor other refractive surgery or if you havecataractsand needcataract surgery. These eye surgeries can worsen the condition, and corneal dystrophy often is considered a ...

Background Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy is a hereditary disease and the most frequent cause of corneal transplantation in the worldwide. Its main clinical signs are an accelerated decrease in the number of endothelial cells, thickening of Descemet's membrane and formation of guttae in the ext...

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a degenerative eye disease characterized by corneal endothelial cell (CEC) death and the formation of guttae, an abnormal thickening of CEC's basement membrane. At the tissue level, an oxidative stress causing mitochondrial damage and CEC death have ...
