Surgeon discusses management of cataract and Fuchs’ dystrophy

NEW YORK — Individual case evaluation is important to decide which cataract procedure is beneficial for patients with cataract and Fuchs' dystrophy, according to a speaker here.“In the decision-making process, do we do nothing and wait, do we do phaco with corneal Fuchs' dystrophy, should we do endothelial keratoplasty alone, or do we do a triple procedure all at the same time — phacoemulsification, endothelial keratoplasty and posterior IOL implantation?” Thomas "TJ" John, MD, asked at OSN New York 2014.
