Opinions please

I had a full thickness graft 12 months ago. I gained very little sight. A few wekks ago I experienced a sudden drop in that little bit of vision. No redness, no pain, no increased light sensitivity just vision loss.
I have had rejection issues with the other eye and am on steroid 4 times daily to reduce the risk of further rejection episodes. This does not seem like rejection to me. Do you think I should go to the opthomologist?

YES without of a shadow of a doubt, or at least ring them. I was told the vision will vary But any "sudden" change should be investigated. Better safe than sorry
All the best

That was quick! Thanks Ian.
I have had sudden increases in the other eye (though I am still legally blind in it). Everytime there has been any change it has been sudden so it seemed a bit like I don't complain when I have a sudden increase but I do went I have a sudden decrease (If you know what I mean).

Yes go get it checked as soon as you can. Every bit of sight is still valuable, hopefully it can be reversed.
Best wishes
Helen

*the Lib leers cheekily but blindly at Cecil*
No I am sad, but accepting, about the reduction. Afterall, the Doc did say 'I can't tell you wether you will end up with more, less or about the same vision'.
My mother (mothers!!) has been nagging me to have it checked so I thought I would seek other opinions
