| fuchs' endothelial dystrophy | Disorder caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterised by hyaline endothelial outgrowths on descemet's membrane, epithelial blisters, reduced vision, and pain. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Fuchs' epithelial dystrophy | Epithelial oedema secondary to endothelial dystrophy of the cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelial dystrophy of cornea | Spontaneous loss of corneal endothelium leading to oedema of the corneal stroma and epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angle of Fuchs | <ophthalmology> A crevice between the ciliary and pupillary zones of the iris formed by atrophy of superficial layers of the iris in the pupillary zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Dalen-Fuchs nodules | Collections of epithelial cells lying between Bruch's membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium in sympathetic ophthalmia and rarely in other granulomatous intraocular inflammations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' adenoma | <tumour> A benign epithelial tumour of the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, rarely exceeding 1 mm in diameter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' black spot | An area of pigment proliferation in the macular region in degenerative myopia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Fuchs' coloboma | A congenital inferior crescent on the choroid at the edge of the optic disk; not associated with myopia. Synonym: congenital conus. (05 Mar 2000) |
