Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 It's a small world, isn't it? I guess you dodged that bullet. My ophthalmologist says that my Fuchs' is about a two on a scale from 1-10, so I don't have what they call the foggies yet. My problem is the glare, especially at night. Each headlight or other light becomes a giant starburst for me, so that driving at night is not easy. I'm on a wonderful mailing list called Fuchsfriends. It's also a group. Tell your mother and sister to join. There's a wealth of information on the members' only site. It tells about everything to do with Fuchs' including the new partial transplants called DSEK, DSEAK, and DLEK that heal much faster than the traditional transplants.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sue, My mother was diagnosed after my sister. There are 11 years between my sister and myself, so they can't " rule me out " yet. I'll be 39 in Sept. I'm starting to have a harder time at night, headlights bother me. I've been concentrating on my thyroid and now my PA, I guess I need to watch my eyes, LOL!! Thanks for the info! Kate At 09:50 AM 12/30/2006, you wrote: >It's a small world, isn't it?
