[The German version of the Visual Function and Corneal Health Status (V ‑FUCHS): a Fuchs dystrophy-specific visual disability instrument].

CONCLUSION: V‑FUCHS allows for standardized quantification of visual disability in patients with FECD. The German version of V‑FUCHS is a valid and reliable visual disability instrument. It may serve as a patient-reported outcome measure and needs to be studied further in clinical practice, research and trials.
