With Fuchs the inner layers become swollen with fluid that our dying
Endothelial cells can't pump out quickly enough. This is how I
understand Fuchs Endothelia Corneal Dystrophy.

If the swelling gets too bad, then blisters will eventually from
from this excess fluid and push their way to the top surface
Epithelial layer and burst.  I'e experienced this with my right eye
and had the transplant to stop the blisters.

The Muro helps flush out this excess water from the inner layer of
the cornea and helps reduce the swelling but can't stop the process
the fluid will continue to build relentlessly as the cells fail and
die. 

Dry eyes are suffering from problems on the surface layer of the
eye, the Epithelial layer and drops are used to help lubricate this
layer. 

I've heard of good cholesterol and bad cholesterol.

I suppose the excess fluid caused by dying cells is the bad fluid we
want to remove. The drops used to lubrciate dry eye conditions are
the good fluid to want to lubricate our dry eyes.
