We met sweet Gunter and his concerned parents last summer, as they had noticed changes with his left eye since they adopted him. The redness and discomfort seemed to flare up and settle down for a bit, then happen again. It was suspected secondary to a full thickness puncture wound, however no evidence was seen. Eventually all of the inflammation lingered which caused a cataract to form, the lens to adhere to the iris, vision to be lost, and Gunter to be uncomfortable.
The eye was then sent to an ocular pathologist who was able to tell us more accurately what happened to that eye to cause such changes and if there was any risk to Gunter’s remaining eye. Thankfully the surgery was presumed to be curative, and Gunter can go back to living his life without pain or eye drops!
The first slide shows Gunter’s eye the day of surgery, the second slide shows his eye 3 months and a couple flares after we met him and before his suture removal, and finally the last slide shows him at home after everything being the precious boy he is!
