Re: slightly anxious
tear production a bit dry so trying out different lubricants - would appreciate any recommendations from RGP wearers please, tell me what's worked for you.
Those of us with old grafts (over 20 - 25 yrs) - there are not many people with 50 yr old grafts and we have a 17% survival rate. They can in the event of graft failure do a lesser procedure stripping out the endothelial layer and just replace that bit (hence no sutures) which yields results relatively quickly BUT it hasn't been going for that long, only about 10 yrs and the survival rate of that is 50% (PK 53%). The only question I forgot to ask and if anyone here knows please do say - if you've experienced graft failure (not rejection) does all sight go?

I use Clinitas Soothe, and have done more or less since it came on the market. It suits me. I get in online.

Re: slightly anxious
I've just had a couple of bad days since I started on Hylo Tears, so that's a big improvement. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm not sure, but I think they're only available on prescription. Drops seem to be like lenses - what works for one person isn't necessarily the best for someone else.

Re: slightly anxious
I'm trying that one right now Anne, also have Optive and Systane to try out, yes our GP's can prescribe these.
