Once I have had my graft can I wear glasses straight away with say a plain lens for the grafted eye so I can at least see with the non grafted eye, or do I have to do without altogether for a while? If thats the case things become very interesting as a quick check reveals that I can see the laptop on my lap at the moment and not a lot else.

Also I bumped into my optom in town yesterday (literally as new lenses were being fitted to my glasses) and he was delighted to hear that I have my op in a few weeks and is looking forward to sorting out of glasses or lenses as appropriate later in the year, which was good.
Also from from the optoms I had to get a copy of my prescription and managed to blagged a copy of the referal and consultants letters, so heres some extracts:
Prescription:
right:
sphere: -4.75 Cyl -1.75 Axis 180
left:
counting fingers 3 metres at best!
optoms letter to my GP:
"one of the keratomer readings was also off the scale at 5.5 mm radius"
consultants letter to my GP and optom:
"contact lens fitting is going to be problematic..... possible amblyopia of left eye, but is quite sure that his vision in his left eye was better than at present.... slightly uncertain prognosis for visual recovery given history of amblyopia..."
Googling reveals that amblyopia is the lazy eye condition. Oh how I remember the endless months of an eye patch over my right eye to help force the lazy one to be used. The number of lamp posts I walked into...
Anyway the left eye definately was better than the right eye for a long time, to the extent that I used to read without glasses with my left eye qute happily till around 10 years ago.
So does anyone have adult experience of getting the lazy eye working again? As to be honest its going to have to work well in a couple of years when my consultant starts taking a closer look at the right eye which according to my optom "currently has low grade keratoconus".
Anyway got to go, have a bedroom to finish painting. Will return when I have a second coat of paint on the walls.
