Fuchs’ corneal dystrophy (FCD) is a progressive, hereditary disease of the
cornea first described a century ago by the Austrian ophthalmologist Ernst
Fuchs. This note provides recent advances in our understanding of the genetic
and pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease, as well as the application of
new imaging modalities and less invasive surgical procedures, present new
opportunities for improved outcomes among patients with FCD.
