Fuchs Dystrophy treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Fuchs' dystrophy is a condition of the cornea, the transparent layer at the front of the eye, in which the cells responsible for keeping it clear progressively deteriorate. As a result, the cornea can accumulate fluid and become less transparent over time.

How it usually presents: blurred vision that is more noticeable on waking and improves during the day, sensitivity to light, halos around lights, and a sensation of eye discomfort.

Progression: it tends to advance slowly and usually becomes more evident with age.

Who evaluates it? The ophthalmologist is the specialist who examines the cornea and follows up on this dystrophy. If you notice persistent blurred vision or changes in the quality of your sight, scheduling an eye exam is a good decision.
