Laser vs. standard cataract surgery in Fuchs' dystrophy
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two types of cataract surgery in people with Fuchs' dystrophy: one using a laser and the standard method. It looks at which approach gives better results for the cornea and vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (a condition affecting the inner layer of your cornea).
- You are 40 years old or older.
- Your cornea has a low cell count (less than 1,500 cells per square millimeter).
- You are scheduled for cataract surgery.
- You have not had any eye surgery before.
- You do not have other serious eye diseases (like severe dry eye, corneal scarring, glaucoma, or retinal problems).

This study looks at how well femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery works and what factors affect its results. It may be a good option if you have age-related cataracts and regular astigmatism.
This study compares two types of femtosecond lasers used during cataract surgery. It is for people of Chinese Han ethnicity who are 40 or older and have age-related cataracts.
This study tests two different femtosecond lasers (LenSx and Z8) used during cataract surgery to see how they affect the eye's natural response, including inflammation and pupil size. It is designed for adults over 50 with age-related cataracts of moderate hardness.
This study tests a new type of lens implant that gives you a wider range of clear vision after cataract surgery. It uses a special laser to help remove the cataract, and the lens may help you see better at near, far, and in between without glasses.
This study tests a scoring system to predict how well people with Fuchs dystrophy do after cataract surgery. It may help doctors plan better treatment for your cornea and lens.
This trial tests a special intraocular lens that works with a cornea transplant procedure (DMEK) for people who have both cataracts and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. It aims to see if this lens improves vision and reduces the need for glasses.
