We read with great interest the article by Mootha et al. concerning a possible correlation between Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and myotonic dystrophy (MD). We thank the authors because, among the studies we made trying to understand the reason of low intraocular pressure in patients with MD, they cited one study we published in 2010 where we examined the endothelial cells charac...
