Anyone here have Fuch's Dystrophy?

My doctor is Mark Gorovoy, M.D., located in Ft. Myers, FL. He has been performing DSO surgeries for eight years with great success. He contributes to the body of knowledge about successful DSO procedures.
Dr. Gorovoy was also instrumental in the development of the DMEK procedure. I trusted his judgment with regard to my Fuchs, and he thought I was a good candidate for DSO. So far, he has been correct. I can see almost as well now with my right eye (the one that underwent DSO), as I can with my left eye. I don't have the exact prescription. I am waiting until Dr. Gorovoy does DSO on my left eye to get glasses. The improvement from my initial post-surgery vision has been tremendous. I went from foggy vision to being able to read the fourth line down on the vision chart.
Blessings to you,
Denise

It sounds like you are making great progress. Such good news! Do you know why your doctor chose the DSO procedure for you instead of transplant? Obviously it's less invasive but were there specific qualifications that you met to have DSO?
