Overview of Corneal Edema

Corneal Edema Market

Health Apr 28, 2025 14 Add to Reading List

Corneal edema is a condition characterized by the buildup of excess fluid within the cornea, leading to swelling that causes vision to become blurry or hazy. It often results from malfunctioning endothelial cells, which are responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the cornea. This dysfunction is commonly associated with disorders like Fuchs’ dystrophy, post-surgical complications, trauma, or inflammation from conditions such as uveitis.

Typical symptoms include blurred vision, decreased visual sharpness, and sensitivity to light (photophobia). The fluid accumulation causes light to scatter as it enters the eye, making it difficult to focus and perceive fine details, especially in bright environments.
