There are multiple vesicles in the endothelium. There are also multiple greyish opacities which may be curvilinear 
or has scalloped edges. In some patients there may be stromal oedema or abnormal iris shape such as corectopia 
or iridocorneal adhesion (the changes may resemble ICE syndrome but the condition is bilateral)

Hi everyone,
I could not sleep last night so i did a search on the subject heading,

I did it through Mamma,com and all I did was type in the subject heading
and got an excellent  article .

it is one of the inherited diseases such as fuchs corneal dystrophy is.
and does affect the cornea and  ones with this disease will also need a
transplant to "improve visual acuity".

Not to take away any information from our excellent researcher Rita from
SD, I just did a little research on my own.

I am not volunteering for the job full time  LOL  Karen L CA
