Endothelial keratoplasty for Fuchs dystrophy
We report the case of a 69-year-old female with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and posterior chamber in-the-bag intraocular lens, whom we treated with DMEK surgical technique. We encountered difficulties both during obtaining the endothelium from the young donor and during the intraocular unrolling and its application on the stroma. We evaluated both preoperative and postoperative the following pa...
متن کاملFuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy: current perspectives.
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common corneal dystrophy and frequently results in vision loss. Hallmarks of the disease include loss of corneal endothelial cells and formation of excrescences of Descemet's membrane. Later stages involve all layers of the cornea. Impairment of endothelial barrier and pump function and cell death from oxidative and unfolded protein stress ...
متن کاملCorneal hydration control in Fuchs' dystrophy.
Corneal hydration control was tested in 22 patients with Fuchs' dystrophy, and eight subjects of similar age without the disease, by measuring the corneal thickness recovery from swelling induced by hypoxia or following overnight sleep. Measurement precision was enhanced by using a modified optical pachometer and conducting two test procedures which were analyzed by a coupled exponential model....
متن کاملFuchs Endothelial Dystrophy: Pathogenesis and Management
■ Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) is a progressive disorder of the corneal endothelium with accumulation of focal excrescences called guttae and thickening of Descemet’s membrane, leading to stromal edema and loss of vision ■ The inheritance of FED is autosomal dominant, with modifiers such as increased prevalence in the elderly and in females ■ Corneal endothelial cells are the major “pump” ...
متن کاملIncreased clusterin expression in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy.
PURPOSE To investigate the differential expression of the glycoprotein clusterin/apoJ (CLU) in normal and Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (FED) corneal endothelium and to compare the expression of various forms of CLU in normal and FED tissue. METHODS FED and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) corneal buttons were removed during transplantation, and normal corneas were obtained from tissue b...
