At this time, vision in my left eye is hovering around 20/40, while my right eye seems to have reached about 20/30. While not the highly coveted 20/20 vision, this result is dramatically better than before the surgeries, where vision in my right eye was maybe 20/50 (on a good day), and my left eye was worse than 20/70 (yes, that bad! I could read the big "E" at the top of the Snellen chart and also the next line down, but after that, everything was turning to fog). The doctor says I probably can't expect better than 20/30 until after we address the cataracts.
Even so, I am absolutely thrilled with the progress so far. I am seeing the textures on tree trunks, the shapes of individual leaves and blades of grass, even the dust I missed while cleaning the house. I can read books without a magnifying glass. I can see drawings and paintings on the walls that I have not seen clearly in years. Colors are more vibrant, and I am definitely seeing a fuller range of contrast (whereas lights and darks were previously grayed down).
I am still trying to process the impact of my vision problems on my art. I have been collecting my thoughts and planning to write about how my drawing habits changed as the Fuchs Dystrophy progressed. I will post those thoughts when I'm ready.
