Cornea Transplant
Donation protected
Hello! Carlos here! Im here trying to raise money to help me with my upcoming eye surgery.
I have been diagnosed with Keratoconus in both of my eyes. Which has basically rendered me blind in one eye and distorted vision in the other.
Keratoconus is a disorder of the eye that results in progressive thinning of the cornea. This may result in blurry vision, double vision, nearsightedness, irregular astigmatism ,and light sensitivity leading to poor quality-of-life.
Between 11% and 27% of cases of keratoconus will progress to a point where vision correction is no longer possible, thinning of the cornea becomes excessive, or scarring as a result of contact lens wear causes problems of its own, and a corneal transplantation or penetrating keratoplasty becomes required. And thats the point im at now! It’ll take me about 6 months to a year to fully get my vision back, ill be out of work for awhile and could use all the help i can get! I appreciate you all! Thanks!
