Fuchs' dystrophy : This is a rare progressive degenerative disorder that effects the cornea-- the transparent front surface of eye--& causes loss of vision. It has a genetic component & results in corneal swelling: causing blurred vision, worse in the morning but which gradually lasts longer through the day & becoming more severe, often w/ associated pain. Treatment, including surgery, is helpful.
