[Reduced production of aqueous humor in Fuch's corneal dystrophy].
Fuchs' corneal dystrophy is associated with a reduced production of the aqueous humor, as can be established via tonography. The trophopathy and cornea guttata caused thereby are prerequisites for the production of Fuchs' corneal dystrophy. The aqueous humor production should be examined before keratoplasty, since the prognosis is questionable if the production is low. If no improvement of visual acuity can be excepted, keratoplasty should not be performed, since pain has also been relieved by means of intracorneal acrylate implantates.
