Adelin Echavarria is a 20 year old Young man, who was diagnosed with bilateral keratoconus. This is a disease that affects the cornea in the eye, and in his particular case it is so severe that he had to quit going to school. Thanks to Loma Los Pinos foundation he was operated on his left eye on march 3 rd to slow progression of the disease. For his right eye he already needs a corneal transplant, which is scheduled to happen in april this year.
At this moment Adelin needed a left corneal transplant, which was scheduled to happen in April 2017, but as of now and thanks to our collaborators, he already has his new cornea and the surgery was a total success!
