Résumé
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the anatomic characteristics of eyes with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) with eyes without FECD. This study was a retrospective chart review performed at an academic medical center. Patients with FECD were identified through a search of the electronic medical records. Eligible patients underwent Scheimpflug imaging and optical biometry and were compared with age and sex-matched control subjects who underwent similar testing in preparation for cataract surgery. Several measurements of the cornea, anterior chamber, and eyes were evaluated using multivariable linear regression models and multivariable logistic regression models. A total of 404 eyes (202 eyes with FECD and 202 control eyes) were included in this study. Compared with controls, eyes with FECD had shallower AC depths, lower AC volumes, and narrower angles. Conversely, the spherical equivalent before cataract surgery, corneal pachymetry, and corneal volume were higher in eyes with FECD. On Scheimpflug imaging analysis, these anatomical differences were present in FECD eyes with and without corneal edema. After adjusting for sex, these differences remained statistically significant. Shorter axial length was found to be statistically significant in male eyes but not in female eyes with FECD. This study reports new ocular characteristics in FECD eyes with and without edema. Optical biometry and Scheimpflug imaging established that the anatomic findings in eyes with FECD were not simply due to the larger volume of an edematous cornea but rather unique to eyes with FECD. These findings will provide reliable, normative data for future studies examining surgical, medical, and anatomical factors in FECD.
