October 24 Eye Photo Shows Fungus

October 24 Photo of Ed's Eye
See the yellow fungus reaching down under the corneal graft. The sclera is inflamed. Ed has been taking oral Voriconazole for 1 week when this photo was taken by the eye surgeon. I must say that this photo looks like a dragon's eye from a sci fi movie.
The deep yellow colour of the fungus is really easy to see in this photo. The fungus is not worse from last week when it was discovered that it was growing again, and so we hope that the anti-fungal drug is working. On the bad side, Ed is experiencing eye sensitivity to light again and eye ache sometimes. The vision is blurred in the affected eye, of course, and this probably won't change until Ed is off the anti-fungal drug.
The infectious disease doctor says that the fungus spores probably were 'hiding' in the graft's stitches or in a little bubble of cells under the graft. They will hide in places where the blood supply is poor.
This means several more weeks, or even months, on the Voriconazole drug, as long as Ed's system can handle the side effects.
