I don't think so, except through cornea transplant.

The only 'cure' is surgery. I recommend DMEK surgery which replaces the Descemet's membrane in your eye. Developed by Gerrit Melles, MD, PhD from the Netherlands. It is less invasive and has much more of a success rate than DSAEK. To this point, no one has had a recurrence of Fuch's after cornea replacement...yes, I asked!
