Re: [fuchs_corneal_dystrophy] Fuchs Dystrophy diagnosis

Hi,
You would be interested in talking to the 360+ members of our private Fuchs'
Friends group. Those who are in the earliest stages of corneal dystrophy are
doing nothing, because they have no symptoms yet. Those in the "glare" stage
use a lot of types of sunglasses and sunvisors. Those in the "cloudy" stage
are often prescribed Muro ointment or drops. Those whose vision decreases
past their ability to work or function get a corneal transplant, which
nowadays is 98% successful. I had the transplant a year ago. Read my story
here:

Here's where you can apply to join Fuchs' Friends on behalf of your mom:

You will learn a lot at Fuchs' Friends. We have more than 11,000 messages
posted on our bulletin board from people who have various stages of Fuchs'.
