Uncategorized – Keratoconus and my DALK Corneal Transplant https://corneanews.com My Journey from Diagnosis to Corneal Graft and Beyond Wed, 28 Oct 2020 15:28:51 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 2019 is here and all is well! https://corneanews.com/2019/01/22/2019-is-here-and-all-is-well/ https://corneanews.com/2019/01/22/2019-is-here-and-all-is-well/#respond Tue, 22 Jan 2019 22:22:46 +0000 /2019/01/22/2019-is-here-and-all-is-well/index.html I did a bit of adjustment to the site’s hosting (Cloudflare) so thought I’d post a quick update.

Several have asked me how I’m doing.  The graft and my vision are great as of Jan 2019.   I have my 6-month check up coming up next week, and plan to update my glasses prescription (my glasses are scratched up!)  I have not been wearing contacts for the past several years – I just like the bifocals.

Allergy seasons come and go, and I can definitely feel more itch in the grafted eye (more nerve endings?)   But that’s just about the only thing I can say about it – mostly it’s just fine.

I’ve not seen Dr. Holland in a while, opting to see Dr. Koffler and Associates here in Lexington for routine checks.

All’s well with the eyes – and I’m hoping that this year’s Ragweed season will be easier on me also.
