A decade later Vogt identified drop-like endothelial changes in the cornea, using slit lamp biomicroscopy, which are now termed guttae. (5) Later, Friedenwald and Friedenwald noted the evolution of guttae in the cornea of one patient to progress over several years to the characteristic features of Fuchs' dystrophia epithelialis corneae, namely stromal and epithelial oedema, and identified guttae as an early sign of FED.
