Symptoms of the disease include blurred vision in the morning, rough or gritty feelings in the eye, discomfort in bright light, and halo and/or glares from bright lights.

Treatment for Fuchs' dystrophy ranges from eyedrops or ointments to corneal transplant surgeries, and in advanced cases, both cataract surgery and a corneal transplant may be necessary.

Endothelial cells gradually die off, resulting in vision becoming cloudy or hazy due to fluid buildup and inflammation.
2
Treatment for early Fuchs' dystrophy includes eye drops, hair dryers, endothelial keratoplasty, and full corneal transplants.

Summary
The Cornea Research Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing research and support to those affected by Fuchs' corneal dystrophy. The Foundation has been working since 2001 to pioneer a new option called Decemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), which provides optimal visual results with less adverse risks than with PK. The Foundation is committed to providing quality vision for those affected by Fuchs' dystrophy and encourages donations to help support its mission.
