Ooh! Pins and needles in your eye? That can't feel at all good.

You did what I would have done first; the cool soothe of artificial tear eye drops (especially from the fridge) cures most things for me. But the sensation persisted. Is it still there?

Take care

Do get this checked out as it has gone on for some time and not improved. I'm guessing that you are not wearing a lens in that eye? I know that you said that it is the eye you are getting grafted in March.

Take care and let us know how you get on.
