Claims (12)

1. A method for treatment of a corneal endothelial dysfunction associated with corneal dystrophy, comprising (i) identifying a subject currently suffering from the corneal endothelial dysfunction and (ii) administering an effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitor to an eye of the subject to treat the corneal endothelial dysfunction in the eye of the subject.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Rho kinase inhibitor is at least one selected from the group consisting of (+)-trans-4-(1-aminoethyl)-1-(4-pyridylcarbamoyl)cyclohexane, 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)homopiperazine, and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the eye is a human eye.

4. The method according to claim 1 , comprising administering an effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitor in the form of an intracameral injection or intraocular perfusion fluid.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the Rho kinase inhibitor is (+)-trans-4-(1-aminoethyl)-1-(4-pyridylcarbamoyl)cyclohexane or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.

6. The method according to claim 5 , comprising administering an effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitor in the form of an intracameral injection or intraocular perfusion fluid.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the eye is a human eye.

8. The method according to claim 7 , comprising administering an effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitor in the form of an intracameral injection or intraocular perfusion fluid.

9. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the Rho kinase inhibitor is 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)homopiperazine or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.

10. The method according to claim 9 , comprising administering an effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitor in the form of an intracameral injection or intraocular perfusion fluid.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the eye is a human eye.

12. The method according to claim 11 , comprising administering an effective amount of a Rho kinase inhibitor in the form of an intracameral injection or intraocular perfusion fluid.
