Brief summary

The prevalence of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) varies from 3.7 to 21.6% of adults depending on the population studied (country and age class), the method of diagnosis and the definition adopted. In the absence of available data for France, we analyzed the prevalence of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) in a specific sub-population.

Detailed description

The Primary purpose is to Estimate the prevalence of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy in the French population in dermatology population.
