1 answer

Once diagnosed, do your research. See if living with it for a while suits you. I did for 10 years. It will NOT get better. You will eventually have vision problems. Do not ignore it and think it will go away. When it gets to the point where you think about it more than you wish, have the corneal replacements (DMEK). Not all doctors do this surgery, so don't get talked into DSAEK (older) surgery. I used Jack Parker, MD, PhD of Parker Cornea in Birmingham, AL. I have been totally satisfied...okay...'giddy' over the results.
