Stromal puncture for RCE

[pearlset]

I have had RCE's for a about 3 years, tried everything and cannot control. I am now at the point of having an anterior stromal puncture. Has anyone had this procedure and what was their experience.
Thanks

Hi there,

Here are some links to threads where people have discussed their experience with stromal puncture. If you type "stromal" into the search box (top right) you'll find many more but I thought I'd post a few in case they are helpful. Hopefully others will post in this thread too with recent experiences but I don't think we have all that many active members right now with successful stromal punctures (though maybe we do and they're just very quiet). To put all this in context - websites like this attract people with unsuccessful treatments, because if they're successful they don't need more help.

Thanks...your last statement makes a lot of sense.

By the way stromal puncturing is supposed to be highly effective (about 85-90% complete relief or much improved)...unfortunately most of the people on this site seem to fall into the remaining 10-15% (I feel for them..RCE's are really nasty!!!). Hopefully I will fall into the majority of responders.
