Scientists have identified genes linked to blindness produced by corneal oedema. The findings, published in the journal ‘Experimental Eye Research’ related to blindness caused by corneal oedema originated by the alteration of the cell barrier of corneal endothelium. When the endothelial cell barrier is unharmed, the cornea remains dehydrated and transparent.
