Corneal Membrane Polishing for Fuchs Eye Disease
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical technique called Descemet membrane polishing during corneal transplant surgery for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, a condition that clouds the cornea (the clear front part of your eye). The study aims to see if this polishing step improves healing and vision after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests whether special eye drops (Rho-kinase inhibitors) can improve the health of the cornea in people who have both Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and glaucoma. The drops may help reduce corneal swelling and preserve your vision.
This study looks at how the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) changes after cataract surgery in people with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, a condition that affects the inner layer of the cornea. It compares them to people without this condition to see if there are differences in corneal thickness after surgery.
This trial tests an investigational eye drop (DT-168) in people with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy who are already scheduled for a corneal transplant. The goal is to see if DT-168 can improve outcomes or delay the need for surgery.
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.
This study looks at how well people do after a specific type of corneal transplant called posterior lamellar keratoplasty. It aims to understand long-term outcomes for patients who had this surgery.
