Tomographic findings of subclinical edema help predict Fuchs’ progression

PARIS — With a median of 5 years of follow-up, three easily identifiable tomography patterns predict prognosis in Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy, according to a study presented at EuCornea 2019.
“In this study, we asked the question whether Scheimpflug tomography [Pentacam, Oculus] could predict the prognosis of Fuchs’ dystrophy,” Sanjay V. Patel, MD, said.
The cross-sectional cohort study enrolled 96 eyes with a range of severity of Fuchs’ dystrophy based on the area and confluence of guttae. Most eyes were phakic, and all eyes with Fuchs’
