PURPOSE: Patients with advanced Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy frequently report poor vision in the morning, which improves as the day progresses. This study quantified the amount of variation in near and distance visual acuity and refraction over the course of a day.
METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study. Best-corrected distance visual acuity and near visual acuity were tested in participants with clinically advanced Fuchs dystrophy and in controls with healthy corneas. Subjective refraction and autorefraction were conducted in a presumed steady state in the afternoon. Measurements were repeated directly after eye opening in the hospital the next morning. In a subgroup, measurements were repeated every 30 minutes for up to 2 hours.
RESULTS: In Fuchs dystrophy, the mean distance visual acuity was worse by -3 letters (95% confidence interval, -4 to -1) directly after eye opening in the morning compared with late afternoon. No such difference was seen in healthy corneas. In Fuchs dystrophy, visual acuity improved over the course of the study. Visual acuity in the morning could be improved with fine tuning of refraction, and refractive changes were exclusive to Fuchs dystrophy (0.5-1.0 D in spherical equivalent in 30%, >1.0 D in 2% of eyes).
CONCLUSIONS: Distance and near visual acuity and refraction changes over the course of the day in patients with advanced Fuchs dystrophy. Although small changes in refraction may not usually require a second set of glasses for the first hours of the day, diurnal variation should be considered when determining disease severity in routine practice and in clinical trials.
