My Disease

So, like a lot of people these days, I have a disease too. It started from a rare condition called Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome in only my right eye, that I believe developed in the first year or so of my life. It was left unchecked and undiagnosed in tell I was 7 years old. By then, severe damage was done due to the clogging of drainage canals from cells from my cornea due to the ICE syndrome. It developed into Secondary angle-closure glaucoma, which is a type of glaucoma that is very hard to control. I eventually had to under-go surgery for an Express mini shunt. It would let the aqueous humor flow through the tube, allowing my intraocular pressure to go down to normal. I had that surgery in the 6th grade and since then it's been about 5 years. Now the tube is failing and I'm back on medication to keep the pressure down. It's a really hard disease to deal with because there is no room for improvement and I will eventually go blind, and loose my eye. I hope there is new technological advances when I am an adult so I can get a bionic eye or something...
