Bullous keratopathy is a pathological condition in which small vesicles or bullae are formed in the cornea due to endothelial dysfunction. In a healthy cornea endothelial cells keeps the tissue from excess fluid absorption pumping it back into the aqueous humor. When affected by some reason such as Fuchs’ dystrophy or a trauma during cataract removal endothelial cells suffer mortality or damage.
