Observational Study of OCT in Fuchs' Dystrophy
This is an observational study looking at how a special imaging test called Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) can help us understand and predict changes in your vision if you have Fuchs' Dystrophy or Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy (a condition where the cornea swells after cataract surgery). Researchers will use OCT to measure swelling and cloudiness in your cornea (the clear front part of your eye) over a period of up to two years. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict how your vision might change after eye surgery. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, have damaged corneal endothelium (the inner layer of the cornea) from Fuchs' or PBK, and are willing to attend study visits. We don't know the current recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and record information without giving any specific treatments. It aims to enroll 60 participants.
- What's involved
- You would need to commit to required study visits. The study will measure changes in your eye for up to two years.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your corneal edema and haze will be measured for up to 2 years.

What this trial measures
- Corneal Epithelial Edema/Hazeup to 2 years
OCT will be used to measure corneal epithelial edema/haze (in microns) in participants with Fuchs' or PBK
- Corneal Stromal Edema/Hazeup to 2 years
OCT will be used to measure corneal stromal edema/haze (in microns) in participants with Fuchs' or PBK
