Fuchs' Dystrophy Market

Fuchs' Dystrophy Market

Introduction
Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), commonly known as Fuchs' dystrophy, is a progressive eye disease that affects the corneal endothelium-the innermost layer of the cornea responsible for maintaining corneal clarity. The disease leads to corneal swelling, vision distortion, glare, and eventual vision loss. It primarily affects individuals over the age of 50 and is one of the leading indications for corneal transplantation worldwide.

While corneal transplant (penetrating keratoplasty or endothelial keratoplasty) remains the gold standard treatment, recent years have witnessed growing interest in regenerative therapies, Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors, and gene-based approaches. Coupled with advancements in diagnostic imaging and global eye banking initiatives, the Fuchs' Dystrophy Market is positioned for significant growth through 2034.
