The results from a Fight for Sight funded study pave the way for early diagnosis of a corneal eye condition, as well as aiding the development of new targeted treatments. The study published in ...

A corneal dystrophy is a condition in which one or more parts of the cornea lose their normal clarity because of a buildup of cloudy material. There are over 20 corneal dystrophies that affect all ...

An international study helps pinpoint the genetic risk factors associated with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, the most common disorder requiring corneal transplantation. The discovery of gene ...

Diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes, may be a particularly important factor in the etiology of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in findings from a case-control study of about 149.000 US ...

Bottom Line: Researchers discovered three novel genetic mutations associated with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, the most common corneal disorder requiring transplantation. Journal in Which the ...

To identify the molecular genetic cause of macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) in four probands, and characterize phenotypic similarities between MCD and keratoconus. We performed ophthalmological ...

A corneal transplant is a routine surgical procedure that replaces a damaged cornea with a healthy one from a donor. The cornea is the thin, transparent membrane that sits in front of the iris and ...
