About this trial
This is an observational study using optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology to quantify corneal edema in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and predict refractive shift from resolving corneal edema after surgical treatments.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Damaged or diseased corneal endothelium from Fuchs' or PBK
Willingness to commit to required study visits
Disqualifiers
Prior Endothelial Keratoplasty (EK) or any other surgery except uncomplicated cataract surgery
Presence of a condition that increases the probability for treatment failure (e.g., heavily vascularized cornea, uncontrolled uveitis)
Other primary endothelial dysfunction conditions (e.g., posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy and congenital hereditary corneal dystrophy, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome)
Central sub-epithelial or stromal scarring that could impact post-operative clarity assessment
