Don't lose hope! It can be so scary! Our eyesight is precious and we should never take that for granted. There are wonderful eye specialists out there that can help to restore your vision!.

Don't be scared. Use hypertonic saline drops 5% 3-4 times a day to manage the condition until you feel you are to the point where colors are no longer 'vivid.' Then have the surgery to replace your cornea's. It is a simple 30 minute procedure (DMEK), and the results are amazing.
