Molecular Changes in Aqueous Humor Associated with Inflammation Following Cataract Surgery in Patients with Fuchs’ Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
The present study indicates significantly increased proinflammatory cytokines 3 months after cataract surgery in eyes with FECD. Our findings suggest postoperative inflammation in the AC up to 3 months after cataract surgery. Therefore, it may be reasonable to combine cataract surgery with DMEK in cataract patients with FECD.
