Question:
I would like to talk with the mom who responded to my posting in regards to her daughter being diagnosed with Axenfeld Reigers syndrome at age 17. I just read her posting today 5/31/06. Since my daughter was just recently diagnosed and is only 5 months old it would be so helpful to find out what your daughter may have experienced growing up. Please respond if you read this email.
Hope to get a response,
Lisa
Answer:
My daughter is 17 and we just found out about a year and half ago that she has glaucoma. After trying several medications and treatments we were sent to a specialist and about a week ago found out that she has axenfeld-riegers syndrome. A week later she is schedule for surgery in both eyes. I didnot know about this but she has had symptoms all her life i was just told by doctors that the ambilical hernia was normal. That the teeth deformation was hereditary and was just a fluke. That the bad eye sight was something that just happened. I wished I knew then what i knew now . Maybe my daughter would not be having 95% nerve damage in one eye and 85% in the other. The wonderful doctor that has finally diagnosed my daughter is Audrey Tuberville. in Memphis, TN. She knew exactly what was wrong.
