Fuchs endothelial dystrophy is an eye disease that affects the cornea and causes vision problems. There are two stages of Fuchs dystrophy. In the first stage, blurred vision occurs upon waking up in the morning due to fluid buildup in the cornea. In the second stage, there is the appearance of more noticeable changes such as sensitivity to light, cloudy vision, eye pain, and inability to drive at night. It is caused due to destruction of the endothelial cells in the cornea. It is managed by using eye drops to reduce pain and swelling. Corneal scarring needs a full corneal transplant or endothelial keratoplasty.
