I'm almost three weeks post-graft and I'm still wearing mine. The other night it came off while sleeping so I was a little worried, but there were no problems.
I think I'll be wearing it even after I've been told it's not required!

Re: DALK procedure - when is it inevitable & urgent?
Being told she is "too young" is a bit odd. I'm having the DALK procedure on the 29th of August and I'm only 21.

Re: How do you define the "pain" of KC?
I really don't get any pain in my eyes. To me, it's that the eye is more sensitive to certain things which can be uncomfortable.

I know there is a high chance of irregular astigmatism post-graft, requiring people to still wear spectacles or RGP lenses. I was interested in the possibility of wavefront-guided PRK or LASIK and the success of thi...
