He may need a lens transplant if he can't tolerate a contact lens or possible both. He has no lens has that was destroyed and removed in the accident too.

His good eye has actually become stronger and improved on sight tests. It's, taken over.

Been a, while since I posted. Things, are going OK. He's returned to work and the graft is, stable. He was, discharged from the folks, who dealt with the inside of his, eye and now just sees, the cornea, consultant. 3 months, ago he was, seen at the refraction clinic but no lens made a, difference a...

Thanks

His eye is now fully closed due to botox injection. Returns on Tuesday. We plod on.
