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.

I was under the care of a well-known Opthamologist--cornea
experienced... I most likely will ask Mayo for advice and where to go.
Thank you .
