Fuchs' Corneal Dystrophy
by Sha345, Oct 07, 2008 12:16AM
I have been diagnosed with Fuch's and am scheduled for a superficial keratectomy on 10/15 on my left eye. The specialist informed me that I could never have a corneal transplant because of the disease. What is the prognosis if the surgery doesn't work and according to the specialist it may not? What then? Now I am have visual problems in my right eye so it's really difficult to see clearly to read, watch TV or even drive. Will I end up going blind. I am 63 and this disease has never been discovered until now even though I have complained about blurred vision for years. I have worn glasses since I was 11.
