Great video dude. I have this condition, was first discoverd when I was 2, I had my first cocneal graft at the age of 2 and a half, then my second graft at 3 years old. I had a corneal ulcer at the age of 5 and lost aprox 80-90% of the vision in my left eye, at the age of 18 I had my 3rd graft, I am still getting the vision back in that eye as the optical nerv hadn't grown since the ulcer when I was 5, but thanks to training it is now doing so. Keep up the good work dude :)
Thank you so much for explaining it in simple terms. I'm above 40. My parents & siblings don't have it but I do. I take the antiedema Sodium Chloride by Alcon in the morning / when needed. It takes an hour in the morning before my right eye gets cleared-enough for me to work on my laptop. My Question is on the treatment: Is it from simply putting-drops to cornea-replacement? Nothing in-between? If you can guide please, thanks!
One early sign is a halo around lights. (I have this, so early detection (suspicion) was seeing halos and "ghosting", not double vision, but a ghost of objects or text.
I have been diagnosed with Fuchs. I am starting to develop worse vision in the morning and strong sunlight causes rather intense pain to the point where I have to go back in the house. I am 52. My concern is I only have state health insurance -medicare. What is a reasonable cost for this type of surgery?
I was diagnosed with guttata cornea 01/07/2022, both eyes, in the right eye I had cataract surgery 06/11/2021 and now 6 months have passed and the vision of the operated eye was expanded, it looks like it has a drop of water inside the cornea and the vision is not good, expanded and clear, white, and eye pain, light sensitivity. it could be a symptom of the guttata cornea, another issue was a monofocal hydrophilic intraocular lens implanted, this type of lens may have accelerated the loss of the endothelium, because in the exam they were unable to count the cells. I have ankylosing spondylitis. The issue is I can't have good vision and very distressing vision, and the lens is hydrophilic, and I've had information about with cornea transplant, DMEK OR DESAK the lens opacifies.
My mum was recently diagnosed with Fuchs dystrophy. There has not been any case of the condition in the family before her. What would you say are my chances of getting it too? Is there any test that I could take to know whether I'm in the risk group? Thank you.
Many Thanks for this informative video. My mother is diagnosed with Fuch's distrophy, her age is 60. At present she is not having any problem in her vision ... no blurdness, etc. My question to you is that what is the cure of it. Is there any way to stop at its present situation without further degeneration of corneal endothelium ?

Hi my names Caitlin and I'm 12 years old. I was born with a Vision impairment called Corneal Dystrophy. It is very rare and I'm finding it hard to find any accurate imformation on my particular condition. No one in my family has this condition. One of my parents is short sighted and the other is long sighted and my three older sisters are ALL slightly colour blind. I really want to know more imformation about my impairment so that's why I'm commenting here. I'm not sure the specific name of my corneal dystrophy and I have had the idea of Conea transplant mentioned to me but I've also been told there's no 100% chance it will work so me and my parents are kinda hesitant to try it. If anyone with the slightest idea of what I'm talking about reads this please reply to this if you have any information or ways I can find information on my vision Impairment. Thankyou,
There are many types of corneal dystrophy/ Fortunately, there are many treatments available for the different types, including corneal transplantion if necessary. Hopefully your eye doctor will be able to give you some options if you have trouble with your vision. The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation is a good source of information: www.cornealdystrophyfoundation.org/ I hope you get some improvement!
