Anyone here have Fuch's Dystrophy?

Posted by Bettyann @bettyann, Dec 11, 2011

I would really like to hear from people who have Fuch's Dystrophy. I would especialloy appreciate hearing from those who have NOT yet had DSAEK surgery so far. This includes knowledge from those of you who have friends or relatives that might have Fuch's.
I was diagnosed with Fuch's (only in my Left eye) in July...it 'showed up' after my cataract surgery in that eye. Before that, I had no real problems in that eye (aside from the cloudiness caused by the cataract.
THANK YOU for any and all of your replies! =)

I was diagnosed at age 65 and just in the past 2 months at age 85, I'm having blurriness and loss of vision problems. 20/70 in the rt eye. After 2 weeks of Muro128 drops 4x/day and Muro 128 ointment at bedtime, my vision is 20/60. I will continue with the drops and ointment and wait for my referral to a Corneal specialist.

The treatment you are receiving prior to a scheduled visit is so helpful. Understanding what your options are and what to expect is calming. When a person is given the name of the disease only, one can feel left out of a discussion about treatment. My best wishes to you.
