Abstract excerpt

Purpose: Studies of Fuchs' dystrophy have largely focused on individuals of European origin. Characterization of disease among African Americans is required to ensure prognostic factors and therapeutic approaches are applicable across diverse patient populations. Methods: We assessed all self-reported black and white patients aged older than 40 years at a tertiary care institution with a diagnosis of cataract...
