I got my contact lens yesterday 19 months post graft. I wore it for an hour as advised last night. It did not feel too bad and vision was really good. I'll let you know how I get on but it's looking good so far!

Had to let you know how unbelievably good things are going. Two weeks after receiving RPG for grafted eye. I have built up 1 hour a day, 8.30am-10.30pm yesterday! Not a single problem. Vision better than 6/7.5 I would guess.

Way to go Val.

Now make sure you avoid overwearing the lens and undoing on that hard work.

I know how easy it is to get carried away, been thered, done it and paid the price!

Be sensible young lady!

Excellent news Val

So glad to hear it is going so well..... I was going to advise to be careful to not get carried away but Gareth is doing the fussing for me I see!

Congrats again
