Here is a picture of my graft at seven weeks, eight stitches out and eight to go.




And a pic of my un-grafted eye with a huge contact on it.....complete with a bubble at the bottom showing that my eye has changed shape and the contact no longer fits like it should.

cheers, Piper

Great pics, Piper. Thanks for sharing them.

It's great to see that your grafted eye is looking so good.

Good pictures piper.

How did you take them?

Alison, just used the common digital camera, a Panasonic, in closeup mode, then cropped them with my Macintosh. Then I went to http://www.teamsouthbound.com/pictureprocessor/ which converts any picture to one we can post here, and simply pasted them in with the little "img" button that shows up when you reply to a post. Like many things in life, easy to do , the third time you try.

I have my camera set for maximum definition and that helps. They show up nice on the monitor screens, but really nice on print paper.

Your eye is looking good, Piper. all the best

Piper,how's the sight in the grafted eye now compared to pre-op,and how many times have you had to go back since?


Good luck

Overall, the vision in the graft eye is not focused, but I see basically one, messy image. Prior to the graft i was seeing many, like a countable 40-sort of focused images and the inevitable smearing between all of them. Prior to the graft, my left eye was better and gave a more usable picture of the world......now, it is the bad eye without a contact in it. But, with no contact in the remaining eye and the un-focused graft, the world is still a confusing place.

I went back at 24-hours, seven days, 14 days, 28 days and four weeks......and will go again at three months.
