A member asked:
Does fuchs dystrophy run in the family? will spending too much time on computer accelerate the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and No: Fuchs corneal dystrophy is genetic but the age of when it will become problematic differs greatly even in the same family. Using the computer will not affect the progression. Take care.
