Sharon, very sorry you had difficulty.. 18 years is a long time for RK procedures, equipment and research to advance. Everything is different now. I’ll definitely go with my Dr.’s advice at the end.

Your current situation sounds perfect, hope I can get by by doing the same, I just want to be able to drive as soon as I can after the Op…. but so long as it heals and gives good vision I will be happy enough.

Thanks again – Nige

None on the grafted eye. I was given the option, but there was some risk in manipulating the wound-area of the cornea. I opted to wait. For me, my single corrected eye along with my rapidly improving grafted eye are vastly better than what I’d had for past 10 years. So to me, I see very well. After all sutures are out, I may opt for RK corrective surgery on the grafted eye to remove needs for any corrective lens, and the risks they entail – it all depends on Dr. opinion.

Got my op on 11th Oct 2011 – Appreciate your time, good luck!!! –
