Dear Fuchs' Friends:
I have just been diagnosis with Fuchs'. I've had several episodes
(over a year's time) with blurred vision in the morning and I was
sent to an eye doctor who diagnosed the problem.
I have questions about how to prolong the disease (loss of cells). I
use a computer almost all day in my job. Will this cause my
condition to deteriorate more quickly and would a glare screen help?
I am going to wear sunglasses and hats in the sun at all times, but
are there any other suggestions anyone would have to "save" the cells.
I think I am in the early stages of the disease but I'm not sure.
I'm 53 years old and have a very active life. How long does it take
to have blisters, loss of sight, corneal transplant, etc.? I'm trying
to be optimistic and realistic at the same time.
Thanks for your help,
Sharon
