Problema: Corneal diseases

Serenella Sanna

Micro Chirurgia Oculare

In 2005, after a number of visits and exams, I was diagnosed with Cornea Guttata Corneal Dystrophy and, all doctors told me that the corneal endothelial cells were disappearing and was going to become blind.
I looked for second opinions in Sardinia, Italy and Spain, but the answer was always the same. One day my husband yelled at me “don’t give up and search the internet”. I went to my computer and searched: “Best Doctors for corneal dystrophy”. I found Dr. Badalà and I decided to book a visit on March 10th, 2015.
I got to know Dr. Badalà in person: he reassured me and, with patience and simple words, explained a new technique of corneal transplant called DMEK.
He described the procedure step by step and told me I would have not become blind.
I did not know whether to cry or smile!
I underwent DMEK surgery on May 14, 2015. One month after surgery I could see colors clearly as I have not seen in years, since then at every follow-up (the last on January 26th, 2016) I keep receiving just good news.
I sincerely thank Dr. Badalà, for giving me hope and, most importantly, my sight back.
