Anybody here have undergone lasix sugery? I thought we had a thread a few years ago about it, but I can't find it now. I'm going to make an appointment to find out about it for me.
I have a unique problem. I'm legally blind in one eye, and have been since birth due to a congenital atrophied optic nerve. As a toddler, I had a "lazy eye" and they gave me an eye patch to wear on the good eye but it never helped.
The interesting thing about that is that I recently had some tests, and it was proven that I use that eye for close up reading. My eye dr told me I have "built in bifocals" and should never need reading glasses.
I never wore glasses until suddenly, due to an infection, I lost some of the vision in my "good" eye. The distance vision never came back, so I wear glasses for distance and driving.
The hard part of this is that I can't read or even use my computer with my glasses on. So most of the time my glasses are off- unless I need to see something in the distance then I have to go find them.
I'm hoping that something like lasix can fix that- correct the distance vision, even if not perfect, but still allow me to read and use the computer without problems. I'm going to make an appointment and see what they say.
It's sort of scary to think about wrecking my "good" eye, so I wanted to hear from those of you who already underwent the surgery!
