I have read with great interest the article by Sravani et al. on “Corneal endothelium in unilateral Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis”.[1] The authors have rightly mentioned that the endothelial cell densities were reduced and mean cell area was increased significantly, when compared to normal eye of the same patient, as noted in several previous studies. In addition, they discussed that three patients out of 30 patients had guttae in corneal endothelium on clinical slit lamp examination and “drop out areas” corresponding to guttae were captured on the specular imaging. The formation of guttae was due a stress response of the corneal endothelium and noted that these changes were true guttae in the descemet membrane
