My sight has changed quite a bit since having my stitches out in July my Astigmatism is higher and i was starting to struggle with the glasses that i have.
But last saturday i went to my opticians for a eye test and i got 6/9 with correction. We decided to leave changing my glasses untill it was stable over a couple of weeks. So went back today and my astigmatism has dropped by a half degree and i got 6/9 again! wow . still can't change my glasses untill it has settled down but i am going back to opticians for weekly check ups.
Can't wait to get left eye grafted in October that one is not so good at 6/120!!!!

Just thought i would share my good news, i really can't believe how well things have gone for me after all that worry about having a graft it has made such a huge difference to my life. sorry i will stop now i'm getting emotional

Anne,

That is fantastic news!! It is really nice to come here and read something positive!! I love my graft as well after all the stress I had in getting it done!

I get 6/15 with my grafted eye and 6/6 with the other. I told my surgeon that I am more than happy with this, I was only ever planning to get to driving standard at 6/12 so it is great!

Take care and hoping that your sight continues to be good!!

Hi Anne,

That really is wonderful news! I'm so pleased for you.

I only hope that my sight is as good when my eye heals.

Went back to opticians today still getting 6/9 but my astigmatism is still changing, it has settled down a bit more and not changing by as many degrees as it was.
So fingers crossed for next week i may be able to order some new lenses for my glasses

That is really good news, Anne. I really hope that things work out; your astigmatism stabilizes and your specs give you the 6/9 vision you are entitled to expect.

Andrew

Great news Anne
