This condition arises when the cells in the innermost layer of the cornea (the transparent front part of the eyeball) progressively deteriorate. Fuchs' syndrome can lead to pain and severe visual impairment.Currently, there is no preventive treatment available for this disease. In certain instances, a corneal transplant might become necessary to restore vision."}
