Subject: RE: Jane's Rainbow: for all needing support & comfort
For twenty years I have known that Fuchs dystrophy would rob half my vision. Five years ago I arrived at the point where my sight was not dependable due to the variability of corneal thickness and fogginess.

But now that I put salt in my eyes to dry the cornea manually as the cornea pump no longer automatically circulates fluid I can see 80% better. I had been adding fluid from eye drops instead of doing the opposite. A relatively new (10 years) type of transplant could be done in the future if needed.   

The last three self portraits by my mother indicated that she too had Fuchs dystrophy. Each portrait was blurrier than the last.
I am lucky to find this treatment.
