Anyone here have Fuch's Dystrophy?

Update - I had my surgery. On April 12th I went to my two week post-op appointment. I could read four more lines and my doctor was extremely pleased with the start of endothelial cells migrating along the edges of the surgery. I go back in 7 weeks. In the meantime I continue the glanatech drops from Japan. I'm already seeing more than I was at my post-op appointment last week. I'm extremely happy. Wishing the best to others who have Fuchs' dystrophy.

Thank you for sharing. I have Fuchs and Macular. I also have Sjogren. Last visit with my ophthalmologist was recent and he gave me the diagnosis of macular degeneration. He said see you next year and ordered a new prescription. I lost vision in the left eye, but was told the macular is mild. He is supposed to be a specialist in cornea, but I am wondering if I should see a specialist for the retina. Any advice?

Hi Denise. I also have Fuchs. I was diagnosed a few years ago at 68 (now 70). My doctors sys I am a candidate for DSO, that seems to be the preferred way to go if one is a candidate. I recently ordered my Glanatec 0.4% from Bio-japan. Was that where you ordered yours? I am nervous ordering from an online pharmacy. I am glad you are having cell migration, that almost seems like magic. My first surgery will probably be this fall on my right eye.
