Figure 3

Stromal cell density by severity of Fuchs dystrophy. Stromal cell density was significantly lower in the anterior 10% of the stroma in mild, moderate and advanced Fuchs dystrophy compared to normal (p<0.001). The lower cell density in the deeper stroma of Fuchs dystrophy compared to normal can be explained by corneal edema (see Table 3, which shows that the absolute number of cells in a section of cornea was only lower in the anterior 10% of the stroma and not deeper).
