Sutureless Cornea Transplant Surgery Stories

Sutureless Cornea Transplant Surgery

“I could barely see, like when I would get up in the morning everything was so foggy. The first thing that was in my mind was that, wow, maybe I’m going blind,” says Dyeane Dunn.

Dyeane Dunn’s corneas were damaged. She would need a cornea transplant to replace the diseased tissue. Doctors were able to perform a sutureless cornea transplant…an innovative technique that replaces only the damaged cell layers.

“This is a phenomenal procedure because it is only taking away what is bad, it is also not causing changes in the surface of the cornea so you don’t have to worry about dealing with lots of sutures later on in the eye, if patients don’t take care of them it can cause rejections later on in the eye, can cause infections, they cause astigmatism, irregularities, by putting in only what is needed it’s the best way to operate,” explains Dr. Michael Ehrenhaus of Long Island College Hospital.

CATARACTS AND STATINS Stories

CATARACTS AND STATINS

Cataracts are a common problem as we age. In people over the age of 75, two-thirds have the most common type of cataract.

There are at least 300 to 400, 000 new visually disabling cataracts annually in the U.S.
So preventing them would be key; but we really don’t have a good handle on how to do this.

Now, though, it appears popular cholesterol lowering medicines might be able to help do just that.

“Someone hit me with a cane in a bus yes a lady hit me with a cane in the bus,” cries Betty Brissett. Certainly, it’s not the most common way someone gets a cataract, but yes, the blow caused her to develop the degenerative condition that clouds the lense of the eye. And of course, there was no way she could have prevented that from happening. (Read more about CATARACTS AND STATINS)
