treatment of endothelial disease focuses on removing them. Historically, surgeons have removed the guttata as part of partial-thickness corneal transplants that replace the removed section of DM ...

in contrast to central guttata seen in Fuch's endothelial dystrophy. [40] In centers where specular microscopy is available, it is useful to document preoperative corneal endothelial cell counts.

In this cross section of a cornea in a person with Fuchs' dystrophy, the green rectangles represent endothelial cells. The magenta dots are outgrowths of Descemet's membrane known as guttae.
