The corneal endothelium was examined preoperatively using a slit lamp and an endothelial microscope. The corneas were divided into 6 grades (0\u20135) according to the Krachmer scale, or 4 clinical stages of the disease.\n\nResults: The incidence of FECD in our group of patients undergoing cataract surgery was 29.6% (total 840 eyes). In 578 cases this concerned stage 1 of the disease, which had no effect on the outcome of the operation. In 81 cases it concerned a stage 3-5 disease, in which potential postoperative complications must be taken into account. In 13 cases (0.46%) we primarily performed a combined procedure of cataract surgery and DMEK (Descemet\u2019s membrane endothelial keratoplasty).\n\nConclusion: FECD in the population of cataract patients is probably often under-diagnosed. In our cohort of patients we registered some signs of the disease in more than a quarter of the patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31348\/2025\/46","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]],"date-time":"2026-05-14T11:03:42Z","timestamp":1778756622000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Prevalence of Fuchs\u2019 Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy in Cataract Patients within the Czech Population"],"prefix":"10.31348","author":[{"given":"Pavel","family":"Studen\u00fd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jakub","family":"D\u00edt\u011b","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Hor\u00e1k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kl\u00e1ra","family":"Cenkov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zbyn\u011bk","family":"Stra\u0148\u00e1k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"Netukov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"16213","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]]},"container-title":["Czech and Slovak Ophthalmology"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]],"date-time":"2026-05-14T11:03:43Z","timestamp":1778756623000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/cs-ophthalmology.cz\/en\/journal\/articles\/405"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31348\/2025\/46","relation":{},"ISSN":["1211-9059","1805-4447"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1211-9059","type":"print"},{"value":"1805-4447","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,1]]}}}
