Nearly as good as my left eye uncorrected, just wish I could get away with glasses on that one!

Hopefully it will improve further, but I ebt you will still be happy if that is as good as it gets corrected with glasses.

Your not wrong there Gareth! To think that in May 2005 I couldnt get corrected vison above 20/80, had issues with wearing them for longer periods, and was looking at leaving my job due to vision.....and then to have had the graft, been able to see within like 7 weeks using glasses on that eye..........it truely has been; in my opinion, a life saviour...as the other route I just wouldnt have wanted to think about!

Im happy with the current vision...it is slowly getting better......as its now a stable 6/7...we had a choice to remove sutures...but Id said lets leave it...and so did he...Im going to get refracted tomorrow at Opticians...as these glasses are some 6 months old...so who knosw!....6/3 ? lol....that would be quite amazing!

HI jay

Good to hear things are going well, is that vision with a DALK (please say Yes :D )

When do you have your DALK for the other eye?
