ABSTRACT
Light andelectron microscopic findings of Fuchs`dystrophy were examined in a corneal button obtained following a penetrating keratoplasty. In light microscopic study, an avascular connective tissue was observed between the epithelial basement membrane and Bowman`s layer. Fibroblast-like cells scattered on the denuded surface of the Descemet`s membrane were found in a flat-mounted specimen examined after alizarine red and tryphan blue staining. A slightly thickened Descemet`s membrane covered with the disorganized endothelium was observed in a electron microscopy. Swollen organelles and vacuoles in the cytoplasm were found as an internal structure of the endothelium.
