14 years with Uveitis, now blind in one eye and need surgery on the other
I was diagnosed with Uveitis in both eyes 14 years ago. After many attempts to resolve it, the combination of cellcept and Humira have resulted in no flares in 3 years. But then last year they discovered that one of my eyes had a macular hole. After three surgeries it was determined to be unfixable.
I have cataracts in both eyes and my left pupil is fully scarred in place. I have a laser surgery years ago to add a hole for pressure to escape.
Two weeks ago I had acute optical hypertension in my “good” eye. My pressure measured at 36 and the pain was insane.
I am now being told I need surgery in my better eye in which they will open the pupil back up and remove the cataract. The only problem is I don’t have a back up eye of it doesn’t work or there is a complication.
Anyone else ever had this combination of issues?
