Fuchs’ dystrophy: Images taken with a mobile device

Abstract

Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy is a common disorder characterized by progressive corneal endothelial dysfunction. Clinically, central guttae are observed on Descemet´s membrane and in late stages, corneal edema with epithelial bullae can be apparent. It may occur sporadically or be inherited with an autosomal dominant pattern. Usually it affects women over 40 years old and is considered the most frequent cause for corneal transplantation worldwide. We present the case of a 59-year-old male with no significant history and with findings typical of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy.
