what is the difference between fuch's dystrophy and keratoconus
Fuchs' dystrophy. Fuchs' dystrophy is a slowly progressing corneal dystrophy that usually affects both eyes and is slightly more common in women than in men. Although doctors can often see early signs of Fuchs' dystrophy in people in their 30s and 40s, the disease rarely affects vision until people reach their 50s and 60s.
As the disorder progresses, swelling of the cornea can cause blisters on the front of the cornea known as epithelial bullae (BULL-eye). This condition is known as bullous keratopathy. There is no known prevention for Fuchs' dystrophy.
