Abstract:ImportanceWhether guttae in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) can be removed by polishing without Descemet stripping and whether postoperative maintenance of reduced guttae can be achieved through cultured corneal endothelial cell (CEC) transplant therapy are critical issues to be addressed.ObjectiveTo investigate the decrease of guttae through polishing degenerated CECs and abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM) without Descemet stripping and to observe the behavior of guttae following cultured CEC tran… Show more
