UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Hi guys ,how is the Summer treating you all. have not been on in ages with the end of term and life in Uni . Ihad my one year mile stone for my graft operation on the 16th of June. Can not believe a year has gone by MADNESS!!! While i have had little to no trouble with the graft i cant help but feel my sight and all the rest is the exact same as it was this time last year about one week after the surgery .

Just wondering what sort of things were others experiencing on their one year birthdays with their grafts.


Also on that same day i got my Optometry degree results and finished with FIrst class honors second highest in my year , the things we can achieve is unbelievable guys


optom

First things first:

Congratulations on your outstanding degree results, and every good wish for your future.

Secondly, my first anniversaries of my grafts passed uneventfully, and largely unnoticed. I can't believe that's uyour first year gone by.

Every good wish.

Andrew

Andrew no need for the bold massive blue writing but i loved it hahaahahahahaha. thanks for your wishes .
i had a cake a drinks and drinks and the works hehehehe

Yet at the same time i was very very conscious that it was likely the first anniversary of a loved one passing for some family in this world, and to them I will be forever in debt .

My LE I had a PK and it was about 18 months until I could get a reasonable refraction. My RE I had a DALK and it took about 10 months. However the refraction and VAs would fluctuate.

Congrats on the degree, guess you have your pre-reg year to look forward to now, if you need any pointers let me know

Hi Asif, I got my degree in Dublin so the Irish degree i little different we do four months placement during the degree which is four yrs not three, i m taken my POE'S next week any pointers for them would be very welcome????

I am 18 months post graft and my sight is exactly the same so i shall join you in your boat. Think I am having a permanent contact lens inserted at some point as my astigmatism is so bad
