Surgical Revisions in Non-Fuchs Corneal Dystrophies: A Review of Eight Decades of Histopathological and Clinical Evidence

1

Corneal dystrophies are inherited disorders that affect corneal transparency and visual function, with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy being the most common subtype.
2

Surgical options for non-Fuchs corneal dystrophies include superficial ablation and full-thickness surgery, with recurrence posing a significant challenge.
3

This study analyzed 372 non-Fuchs corneal dystrophy specimens over eight decades, focusing on surgical re-interventions and their associated procedures.
4

The research aimed to quantify the proportion of re-interventions for each dystrophy type and evaluate the surgical techniques linked to these cases.
5

The study adhered to ethical standards and utilized the IC3D classification system to categorize corneal dystrophies based on their features.
