Well, yesterday i was worrying about blood vessels, this morning i was still worrying about blood vessels when i woke up, so got my camera out took a pic so i could get a good look. Noticed something on my cornea, thought it was just yucky boogey stuff seeing i had just woke up.
Had shower, took eye shield off....things still werent looking too good, very blurry. Anyway to cut a long story short went to a & e was seen and sent to ward within 15 mins. Hour and a half later still waiting for my notes, but anyway turns out, I am now the proud owner of a cornea ulcer.
I could cry, infact i probably will later (ill let u know where the tears come from craig). I cant believe it. Think im cursed. For some reason before i had it done, i was worried about the aftermath, first the leak, now this, only one more thing to go and then i might get some peace. Anyone else had an ulcer?
One day i'll post with good news....

Hun so sorry to read this. Is this your grafted eye??
I have had an ulcer and it was terrible. Had to have so much time off work as i obviously couldn't put a lens in to see. It does heal but takes a long time and a lot of antibiotic eyedrops.
I am glad that you did go and get it looked at. My ulcer wasn't on the grafted eye, i hadn't had it done then. Having three ulcers pushed me into getting my other eye done in the hope that i wouldn't have to rely on just one eye again.
I really do hope that things get better for you soon. Stay strong and keep posting to let us know how you are doing. Things will get better, it just takes a lot of time but you can get through this.
Loads of love ... Sweet X x X

Sarah,
If there is no sign of an infection then you won't need any antibiotics and zoviraz will do very well.
Mine took a very long time to heal BUT this is only because i overwore my lens and had a lot of infections. I had to have seven months off work which almost killed me!
I am hoping that yours will heal soon. I just had a load of problems with infections and iritis which took forever to heal. Yours shouldn't take as long although most ulcers may take a month or so.
Take care ... Sweet X x X
