There is hope
We consulted Dr Julian Theng and Dr Lim Wee Kiak at Eagle Eye Centre this morning. Both doctors have different views. Dr Theng advised to do a donor cornea transplant. But the rejection risk is 90%. OMG, this is so scary! Is it worth trying a third time? Yes, if you can find the perfect match cornea. He thinks artificial cornea should be the last resort. On the other hand, Dr Lim was more encouraging. He advised us to see Prof Donald Tan first. He believes that Prof Tan has done a lot of research on perfect match cornea. Besides, Prof Tan is in charge of the Eye Bank and he specializes in artificial cornea. The technology for artificial cornea is more advanced now. He said not to give up hope. In the future, he said stem cells is the treatment for glaucoma.
