CORNEA TRANSPLANTS HELPED ME
fulfill my dreams of nursing
“IN 1998, I WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH KERATOCONUS,
a degenerative disorder of the
eye that causes the cornea to bulge
outward.”
“I tried to wear contacts to treat this
disease, but that approach proved
unsuccessful. Twice the contacts
popped out of my eyes, once when
I was taking a math exam and the
other time when I was driving. The
contacts were extremely painful,
and it sometimes took me over an
hour to put them in my eyes.”
