At Bayside Ophthalmology in Miami, FL, Dr. Daniel Montenegro, MD recently treated a patient whose journey for sight restoration spanned international borders. The patient, an educator from Venezuela, traveled more than 1,500 miles to undergo a cornea transplant after developing vision loss from Fuchs’ dystrophy. In her home country, access to donated corneal tissue was extremely limited, making treatment difficult to obtain.
With the support of donor tissue provided through Eversight and surgical care performed by Dr. Montenegro, the patient experienced a significant improvement in vision following a DSAEK cornea transplant procedure. Her story highlights the life-changing impact of eye donation and the importance of global collaboration in restoring sight for patients who might otherwise have no treatment options.
