Role: Board Member
Position: Administrator of Fuch's Friends

After being diagnosed with Fuchs Dystrophy my research led me to the Corneal Dystrophy Foundation and Fuchs’ Friends which was and continues to be a valuable resource for my journey with the disease. Fuchs’ Friends not only provides resources to understand the condition and to help find the appropriate medical professionals, but its members offer firsthand insight into the medical procedures from the patient’s perspective. Fuchs’ Friends is a valuable resource for anyone with the condition.
