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
