I am 31 years old and was diagnosed with Fuchs’ Dystrophy about 4 years ago. It was a shocking diagnosis to both my doctor and me. I was told at 27 years old that I will lose my quality of life because my vision will go, and that I will then need a corneal transplant – but no one can tell me when because I’m so young.
I had a lot of emotions and my dad got on the computer to do research which led him to this group. To say they have been helpful is an understatement. I am no longer scared about what the future holds for my eyes… and any time I have any questions about a new symptom or anything – the group is right there to help me through.
