Quantitative Grading of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy Powered by AI

GuttEye

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) is one of the leading causes of corneal transplantation worldwide. Yet disease progression is still commonly assessed using subjective grading systems that lack the sensitivity required for modern clinical research and long-term patient monitoring. Developed in collaboration with the team of Dr. Mark Greiner at the University of Iowa, GuttEye automatically detects, segments, and quantifies guttae from specular microscopy images, providing clinicians and researchers with objective and reproducible measurements of disease severity.

By transforming specular microscopy images into quantitative clinical data, GuttEye enables more accurate disease assessment, standardized follow-up, and improved evaluation of therapeutic efficacy. Turn subjective grading into measurable clinical evidence.

Monitor Disease Progression with Confidence

GuttEye introduces an objective quantitative approach through its proprietary GAR% score, enabling more sensitive monitoring of disease progression and treatment response.

Our solution helps organizations:

  • Standardize FECD grading
  • Generate reproducible quantitative endpoints
  • Reduce inter- and intra-observer variability
  • Monitor disease progression over time
  • Support clinical decision-making
  • Improve patient follow-up
  • Accelerate ophthalmology research
  • Facilitate clinical trial assessments
