So, I have been diagnosed with ICE for over 10 years. What has happened in those ten years? A lot. Some years have been quiet...just 3 or 4 visits with my glaucoma specialist for pressure checks and visual field testing. Other years have included surgeries including a trabeculotomy, three tube shunt insertion surgeries, a couple tube revision surgeries, cataract surgery and one DSAEK corneal transplant. In a week, I'll be going through a second DSAEK transplant as the first one was deemed a "failure".
I know there are others of you just like me, others who have been through more and others who are just getting started out. Remember everyone to take it day by day! Be thankful for the good days - and do not get discouraged by any day or any news. I have to remind myself of this often.
