Anyone have Salzmann nodular degeneration?

On his bad vision days, his sight was so blurry that he couldn't make out anything on his computer screen. Sometimes he suffered double vision. He used warm compresses every morning and night. He does wear glasses.

He had his surgery on May 17th. He had his worse eye done. The surgeon elected to do it all by hand, no lasers. She said that she has better outcomes. Yesterday she removed the "contact bandage" from his eye. His vision in that eye is still very blurry and poor. She said to give it a month. At one month, he needs a new prescription for his eyeglasses. Like she said, his vision won't be any better than his normal vision was. The difference will be his consistency of vision. With the right glasses, he should see much better. He is struggling right now and questioning but it's early days. He is impatient to heal and was hoping by now it would be cleared up a bit. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you for the response @di341

So very scary and frustrating for your son. I can understand his frustration as vision is key. Still in my prayers. Zebra

Did his vision ever improve or get more consistent?
