Keratoconus associated with Fuchs' Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy in a Young Woman.

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the relationship between keratoconus and Fuchs' corneal endothelial dystrophy, especially regarding corneal thickness.
• Analyzed corneal thickness in a young woman diagnosed with both keratoconus and FCED.
• Utilized corneal scans to assess the severity and progression of each condition.
• Conducted a comparative evaluation of treatment options for both conditions.
• Keratoconus and FCED exhibit opposing effects on corneal thickness, complicating diagnosis.
• The severity and progression of each condition can mask the other, requiring careful interpretation of scans.
• Distinct treatment pathways exist for keratoconus and FCED, underlining the need for accurate diagnosis.
