Background: Refractory corneal edema is the foremost reason for endothelial corneal transplantation (EK) in the world. Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) offer good clinical outcomes. However, human donor tissue is limited in availability and has a complex logistical chain.

Purpose: To describe the demographic profile, clinical characteristics, and treatment trends of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in Thai patients, reflecting the evolving landscape of corneal transplantation in this region.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 900 patients (1,743 eyes) diagnosed with FECD at a tertiary referral center in Thailand between January 2017 and June 2023. Demographic, clinical, and surgical data were analyzed, focusing on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central corneal thickness (CCT), endothelial cell density (ECD), surgical interventions, and graft survival rate.
