I have Fuchs dystrophy & am a candidate for DMEK in my left eye where I also have a cataract. I live in Canada & the Fuchs expert there was anxious to slit open both my eyes early this year…what an egomaniacal idiot!

I already know he gets paid by procedures so the more he cuts the more $$$ he makes. Currently I am using eye drops to remove the extreme water that collects in my eyes, especially in the morning, since overnight these defective cells collect way too much water.

I also have dry eyes. For that I use hylo gel. Hope this helps! Gratefully Marianne
