I am a 48 year old woman diagnosed with Fuch's last week. My main symptom is when I sleep/rest on my side, my vision is blurred on that side only. I have worken up during the night to discover that problem. I transfer over to my back for a while, over 30 minutes, and my vision improves. This occurs only when I lie on my side, either side. So, I've been "training" myself to sleep on my back, to prevent blurring, but it has been difficult. This began about 2 years ago and I went to an optometrist, who did a pressure test and pretty much dismissed it. I can see 20/20 with both eyes most of the time, but it is somewhat difficult with my right eye. I decided to go to an eye specialist last week who diagnosed me with Fuch's. This was the first time I had heard of this disease and I am honestly baffled and very nervous. No one in my family has ever had this kind or any kind of an eye problem besides near or farsightedness. Is it at all possible that I was misdiagnosed? I've been using a hair dryer in the morning on my eyes and Gen Teal lubricant drops. I don't understand why I use a hair dryer to dry, pull out fluid and then drops to wet and moisturize. I feel like I should be doing more so this doesn't progress. I don't know if the doctor did a cell count, all I was told was that I have this disease, our corneas usually outlast us, use drops, hair dryer and come back in a year. I can't focus on anything but this...please advise if there's something else I should be doing and if this possibly could be something else.
