In this episode of the Doc2Doc podcast, hosts Dr. Albert Cheung and Dr. Sara LeMay are joined by Dr. Martin de la Presa, a cornea, cataract and refractive specialist at Grene Vision Group to discuss Fuchs’ corneal dystrophy, its pathophysiology and evolving treatment options. 

Dr. de la Presa explains Fuchs is a genetic condition leading to toxic protein accumulation in corneal endothelial cells, resulting in progressive vision loss. He emphasizes the importance of correlating patient symptoms with clinical findings to guide treatment decisions. The conversation explores both medical and surgical treatments. This episode provides practical pearls as well as optimism about future potential treatment options that could make care more accessible and less invasive.
