Well, you get one thing fixed & something else pops up. Guess if you live long enough, you are going to have something. I am scheduled to have a Gundersen procedure on my left (blind) eye Jan. 13th. I google enough to be dangerous but what I understand is that membrane is taken from the upper eye lid and pulled down over the cornea and sutured.
I had a blood clot in this eye back in 2017 and went blind. I am fortunate in that it could have gone to the brain. Some of my friends may argue that it did go to my brain. Over the past few months I have had a silicone disk placed over the cornea about every 2 to 3 weeks as I had "bumps" on the cornea which created quite a bit of pain. Any ophthalmologists out there who have performed this procedure?
Having had the open heart surgery in Oct. 2019, this should be a piece of cake but for whatever reason I am more apprehensive about this procedure than I was the heart procedure.
