Fuchs' dystrophy (fooks DIS-truh-fee) is aneye diseasein which the innermost layer of cells in the cornea undergoes degenerative changes. This cell layer, called the endothelium, is responsible for maintaining the proper amount of fluid in the cornea. The endothelium keeps the cornea clear for...
Fuchs' dystrophy is a condition that causes the cornea to degenerate, particularly in the innermost layers or the endothelium of the cornea. This area is responsible for maintaining proper fluid amounts in the cornea and keeping the cornea clear to promote good vision. This disease is often gene...
Fuchs' dystrophy is an inherited eye disease that causes the cells in the last layer of the cornea to deteriorate, leading to distorted vision and corneal swelling. The exact cause of Fuchs' dystrophy is unknown, but is believed to be a combination of hereditary, hormonal and inflammatory ...
Fuchs内皮营养不良(Fuchs endothelial dystrophy),又叫滴状角膜(cornea guttata),是一种常见现象,随年龄其发生率显著增加。许多滴状角膜患者,角膜其他方面表现正常且不影响视力。少数患者发生角膜基质和上皮水肿,可引起视力显著减退。Fuchs于1910年首先描述这一临床现象,随后认识到它与原发性角膜内皮营养不良有关,角膜上...

The cause of this disease is unknown, as well as an effective therapy." Much has changed in our understanding and treatment of Fuchs' dystrophy since these prescient observations from exactly a century ago. In 1916, with the recent advent of the slit-lamp biomicroscope, Koeppe observed the ...
文章将主要对Fuchs角膜内皮营养不良的临床表现、分期分型、发病机制、遗传学、治疗等相关研究做一个综述.%Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a kind of hereditary disease characterized by progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells, thickening of Descement's membrane and deposition of ...
if untreated, these corneas will become scarred and vascularized, which may explain why fuchs originally described the disease as an epithelial dystrophy and others have referred to it as a combined epithelial and endothelial dystrophy. anterior corneal changes in fuchs dystrophy were not of ...
Boston, MA—Scientists have found that free radicals (unstable molecules that cause the death of cells as the body ages) may also cause the damage in the eyes of patients with Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a hereditary disease that is one of th...
