Hi Shabana

I look forward to reading about your experience. :D

It gets to the stage where you've been anticipating having the operation for so long that it's a relief to have it over and done with.

Because a graft is seen as a last resort it can make it seem more frightening. But my graft and recovery has certainly not been anywhere near as bad as I imagined.

I would hope the same is for you.

Thanks Jay

I will read through them now. Thanks for the links.

I am so glad I have joined this forum as before I have had nobody to talk to who has Keratoconus. I am learning so much and I dont feel that scared about the operation. :)
