Losing vision at an older age can have a major impact on our ability to look after ourselves, to manage our medical needs, and to preserve our independence and dignity. One of the eye's structures that can become affected is the inner layer of the cornea known as the endothelium. Corneal endothelial dysfunction is a disease that usually affects the elderly. It gradually blurs vision and, if left untreated, can result in a painful and blind eye.
