Bücklers Corneal Degeneration

Bücklers corneal degeneration

Buchlers, Olaf (German: Olaff Buchler, 1849 - 1936) - German ophthalmologist, professor, doctor of medicine. Known for having identified and described in detail a disease of the cornea of ​​the eye. The unit of measurement of a thin thread is named in honor of the scientist - booklers. The disease of the cornea in the form of bucqueras was first reported by H. Fuhlrott (1883) from Königsberg. Degeneration was studied mainly in eversion of the cornea. In those who suffer from this pathology, due to the involution of the eyelids, the blinking process is excessively rapid, which deprives the cornea of ​​time to dry (phakic eye), so the person feels a constantly flowing “stream of tears.” An air bubble is placed between the cornea and the iris, causing a gelatinous cloudiness that casts a shadow over the pupil and the entire eye.

Büchsler's Corneal Degeneration

**Buchslers Corneal degeneration** is a serious disease of the cornea, which is characterized by a decrease in its transparency and the appearance of defects. It is one of the most common causes of vision loss in older people. Buchsers corneal degeneration is considered the main pathological process of the cornea and develops most often with age.

This process is also called senile overmaturity of the cornea (siegmerzingkanker der hlere), because it is associated with pathogenic processes of senile histological structure. This disease does not affect vision. At the beginning of the disease, changes in the cornea over time are usually negligible; only after years does it become flabby. For a patient who is sick in childhood, this disease is especially severe.

The prognosis for Buchsern disease is poor; early diagnosis is better. The development of surgery is complicated by the fact that changes in the cornea are irreversible. Early treatment can significantly improve the patient's quality of life.
