Basically, it is a copy of the letters he is sending to my insurers and my current consultant.
Some of the details though remain a little clouded to me; can anyone shed any light please?
For the right eye (existing graft): "Steroid induced glaucoma". I think I can work that one out, but I'm surprised that the G-word has never been uttered to me in the last 4 years! He also commented though "Intra-ocular pressure normal" (it was 18 ). I thought that glaucoma was a high IOP?
For the left eye (ready for a DALK graft): "An advanced cone, with marked apical thinning, and apical sub-epithelial scarring."
Now, I was under the apprehension that scarring was a contra-indication for a DALK.
I'm more confused now than I was in the consulting room! Why he didn't tell me all this at the time I have no idea! Still, at least I can talk to my "normal" consultant next week and ask her!
