First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study compares two surgical treatments for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, a condition that clouds the cornea and blurs vision. Sixty adults will receive either a standard corneal transplant (DMEK) or a newer procedure that strips damaged cells and uses Ripasudil eye drops to help the eye heal itself. The goal is to see which approach provides better vision recovery.
