Hi Darren

I think all of us who have either been through a graft or are waiting for one fully appreciate where you are coming from.

Please let us know how you get on and the path you choose.
Gareth

I would have to agree with rosemary on this.

I would suggest exhausting all possibilities of different lenses brefore choosing the surgical option.
I am 6 months post graft and cant read the top line of the snellen chart unaided, my other eye has a scleral lens and i am about 16:9 on a good day, Without the lens, i cant even see that the chart exits until i am less that a meter away from it.

I can empathise with you as i have had a bad time with my lenses, sclerals have been the best for me out of all the ones i have tried but i have gone through patches where i have had to 'reset' my lens every 10 minutes due to discomfort.

Good luck in whichever path you choose to go down.

Tom
