Here comes another surgery…

3/19/2014

I have good news and I have bad news.  The good news is I managed to skip the EUA this time, because my doctor got all the information she needed about my right eye at my appointment.  If you are looking for only good news, do not read any further.
And now on to the bad news… I need to have another surgery.  There is something called K.P. in my cornea, which my doctor told me are little spots, caused by white blood cells from inflammation in my eye. My glaucoma tube moves around every time I move my eye, causing the inflammation.
I am sad that I need to have more surgery, and I am not sure when it will be.  First, we are going to try to get rid of the K.P. with a steroid drop, and then we’ll schedule the surgery.  Although I managed to avoid anesthesia this week, I didn’t really get away from it.  It has just been postponed for a few weeks :-(.

    The goal of my blog is to increase awareness of childhood glaucoma and other eye diseases, and to unite kids like me living with visual impairment.
