Vision and Quality of Life in Fuchs’ Endothelial Dystrophy Using a Prototype Aberrometer: A Cross-Sectional Study
Worse-eye BDCVA correlates with patient-reported quality of life in FECD; however, adding high-resolution optical metrics (eg, wavefront/HPFM) did not meaningfully improve explanatory or predictive performance beyond simple clinical variables. These findings highlight a current gap: advanced optical metrics are not yet sufficient to reliably predict the subjective patient experience. Any conclusions from this study should be considered highly preliminary pending confirmation by further research.
