It's good news that he's not so concerned that he wants to see you straight away.

That news would certainly help me to rest easier!

Hoping it all works out for you.

Sweet, you sleep without an eye shield?!! They always give you that straight after the op and ask you to use it for at least threE months.

That's what I was told too Per, the eye shield at night is crucial. I was told shield at night AND sunglasses during the day

No i didn't always not use an eyeshield but it is five months now so i stopped using it after about three and a half. I hated it! I am going back to using one now though so hoping things will be ok.

the worst of this for you Sweet, must be the sense that you are taking a step backwards!

But, if you manage to pull back your graft it will be well worth it, and willturn out to have been an important step forwards!

All the best
