could be a fleischer ring usually visible under a slit lamp at earlier stages and later on to the visible eye. its where you have iron deposits surrounding the cone. it usually starts at the top or bottown eventually forming a full ring. I dont think its serious but worth getting checked out.

with regards to grafting one of your eyes its best to talk to your consultant. I would advise you to graft the eye which has the least tolerance to contact lenses so at least you can wear lenses in your other eye that has better tolerance until your graft heals. how are you getting on with lenses now in either eye??
