post graft further treatment

Postby Michelle Oates » Sat 14 May 2011 12:06 pm

Hi

Went to see the consultant yesterday 14 months post graft and its not giveng the desired vision and reduced astigmatism and they couldnt understand why.

So they are looking at possibly either another operation or laser to correct the astigmatism and high shortsightedness.

go in a few weeks to have stitches out in theatre as well.

Now my other eye vision etc is getting worse. gone up from -12 to - 18

Originally, bwhen we made the decision to go ahead with grafts, my opthomologist had expected to have to do further ops to reduce the shortsight.

To me that is part of the process of gaining decent sight.

Good luck with it! :)
