Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy is a hereditary disease and the most frequent cause of corneal transplantation in the worldwide. Its main clinical signs are an accelerated decrease in the number of endothelial cells, thickening of Descemet's membrane and formation of guttae in the extracellular matrix.
