Evaluating Corneal Edema in Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy Using Optical Coherence Tomography
Oregon Health and Science University
Summary
This is an observational study using optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology to quantify corneal edema in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and predict refractive shift from resolving corneal edema after surgical treatments.
