Abstract

Objectives: Evaluation of the clinical and subclinical features of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Subjectives and Method: A cross-sectional study. There were 23 patients (40 eyes) in 15 families, who had Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, from August 2020 to July 2021. Results: There were 10 male patients and 13 female patients, with an average age of 58,0±14,6 years. All patients were affected in both eyes by this disease. Six patients were discovered by chance during other examinations or while examining other members of affected families. There were 17 patients who experienced blurred vision or eye irritation. Clinical examination revealed that 25 eyes had clear corneas, 15 had corneal edema, and 33 had corneal guttae. Because of corneal edema and scarring, the posterior surface of 7 eyes could not be detected. Endothelial cell count was 2310±515 cells/mm² on average. The average corneal thickness in 40 patients was 593,8±67,9µm. Conclusion: Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy has typical clinical and subclinical features in Vietnam. Specular microscope and a corneal thickness measurement are important for following this disease.
