Operation on my left eye by professor Lombardi

Hi everybody,
I am new to this forum. I have been reading this forum and the German one for sometime. I think it might help other members and that is why I am going to share my experience with you. I live and work in Germany. On 04 of April this year, I flew to Rome. My wife accompanied me. She is a medical doctor and I think it was a huge psychological help for me. It took me a long time to take such a decision for an operation. I have been reading all the available methods and I finally decided to have my left eye operated by professor Lombardi. I gave him a call and he was always very nice and polite and helpful. My right eye has a perfect vision and I thanks heaven I had only problems with my left eye which reduced its vision to 70 percent, the problem started 3 years ago. Before that my left eye was perfect. I could correct my vision with glasses very well. Although another doctor in Germany advised me to use a hard contact lens, but I never liked it and it made my left eye ache terribly. I had always pain inside the eye.
On April 05, I was in his clinic and I had different checkups by different doctors, really many of them which was a very good sign. All people were very nice and helpful. Professor Lombardi told me that I had lost 10 percent to Keratoconus. In the late afternoon, professor Lombardi operated my left eye. It was a bit painful, but only a bit. After the operation I could not see any difference, but too early to make up my mind, and note that my left eye was 70 percent. After a while the pain started, but a pain killer and everything was fine. The next day, professor Lombardi diagnosed my eye and it was o.k. a good vision, however with astigmathism. Now after couple of weeks I have to say that my eye has been improving very well. I am not wearing glasses anymore. I still wear sunglasses from time to time. I have to say I am very happy to take this step. I am flying to Rome in two weeks for the next checkup and it could be that I need a small operation, but if my eye keeps improving I do not think it will be necessary and by the way no pain inside the left eye anymore.
At the end I can only say that I am very satisfied with the results.
Regards
