8-year Old Has Eye-disorder No Cure, Going Blind
Posted: 01-08-06 14:05pm

8-year old has had troubles with vision for last 2 years. Left 1/10 right 7/10 rapidly deteriorating. Priveous cases all gone blind. Apparently this virus goes together often with rheumatism but not in this case, blood chart shows nothing unusual. Treatment so far with cortisone-drops and shots straight into the eye, no result. Has glaucoma on the left for wich surgery has been done, glaucoma not completely gone. Difficult to treat because there's no blood going around in his eye therefore medication doesn't reach infected area, general eye-nerve is probably infected as well. Please does anyone know of any other cases, treatments, doctors, hospitals..?
