Fuchs Dystrophy is an important condition to be aware before operating on any patient.  Cataract surgery, in particular, can cause someone with otherwise asymptomatic Fuchs to develop debilitating corneal edema.  Then again, not everyone with Fuchs Dystrophy is destined to develop corneal swelling.  So how do we determine which patients are at increased risk of corneal decompensation?  How do we know which Fuchs patients warrant combined cataract surgery and endothelial keratoplasty?  And as an alternative to corneal transplantation, how do procedures such as DSO or potentially even endothelial cell injection, factor into our treatment of the condition?
