Description
Young In Yun and co-authors find warning signs for poor results after cataract surgery in eyes with a diseased cornea in a 2025 study. Fuchs dystrophy thins the cornea's pump cells, so routine lens surgery can tip an eye into needing a transplant. The team followed one hundred eighty Korean eyes through lens removal and implant.
Vision improved on average and corneal thickness rose slightly, while cell density fell about fifteen percent. Ten eyes, about six percent, needed a transplant operation within three months. A baseline thickness above a stated cutoff predicted that need with perfect sensitivity in this cohort. Starting vision, thickness, and cell density each predicted disappointing final vision. The authors give surgeons concrete thresholds for counseling and planning in these fragile eyes.
