Please join Fuchs Friends online to find doctors and learn about patient experiences in your area regarding this condition.
My optometrist (not optomologist) told me a few months ago that I had Fuchs and prescribed eye ointment but he was wrong according to my retina doctor. I simply have thinning of the cornea. Fuchs doctors are hard to find. Cornea transplants are very difficult to perform. Consult an optomology department at a major hospital like Cleveland Clinic or Mayo Clinic for Fuchs confirmation - don't take an optometrists' word for it.
