2 weeks ago i had 9 of my stitches removed leaving me with just 6, 2 hours after the 'operation' my vision had improved to near enough perfect
......another 2 hours later and my cornea had continued to 'relax' into shape reducing my vision to worse than it was before 
this is where it has stayed since. I have quite bad ghosting and my astigmatism seems to have switched axis completely, if i look through my glasses back to front and upside down, it clears up the vision quite a bit.
I have been off work for 2 weeks as i have been unable to see very well at all.
Today i went for my follow up consultation and all the news is excellent.
Although the vision is bad, everything else is good. tha cornea has grafted very well and the knit is 'perfect'. the 6 stitches, although still distorting the vision are very well balanced, my topography showed good signs, although i have no idea what it all means.
well now i am able to get re-prescribed with some interim glasses whilst my cornea settles fully, after the 4-6 weeks i can then get re-prescribed again if needed OR.....
He says that the shape of my cornea is now spherical enough that he is very happy for me to be in a regular, run of the mill, soft contact lens 
this will give me that best vision possible for my eye, awesome.....The next steps for me are the rest of the stitches out in october, and then the ball is in my court as to either have further vision correction done in the left eye, or begin the process for the right eye to have a transplant.....and the process starts all over again.
Anyway. as i said at the start, as people tend not to write so much about the sucess stories, i thought i would try to give a brighter outlook to those people coming up to having a transplant.
