ok i followed pipers instructions, so if it works, well done piper, if not....its all his fault.

So hopefully heres a pic of my eye and cornelius at 3 weeks. The piece of gunk was removed today. The leak was at like the 3 o clock position. Im slightly confused about how theres only one stitch at the otherside...u would have thought it was there that was leaking. Consultant happy, so guess i am too

ah well i tried

...and I fixed it!

Nice Pic, Sarah. The uneven stitching is a bit odd, not seen that before.

Interesting to note that you too have the whitish ring round the edge of the cornea. I was told that this was because the donor was elderly ( ) and old people's corneas are like that!

p.s. my pics are on my mini-blog.

awww thanx john.

does the white ring disappear??

as for the stitches.....he must have got fed up doing them and thought, aaaaah that'll do.


I looked at ur blog....that staple looks nasty!!!
and also ur shiny foreign body...waht does that look like to u at the top edge of me pupil?

know shouldnt have done this, cause ill convince myself something wrong

got the camera out again, and it has the problem not me, unless i got that spec on both eyes in exactly same place

A greyish discolouration at the graft \ host join is very common and generally remains there forever.

In mine, I have it around the join at around a total of id say 180 degrees around the eye....but I can only see it if i shine a light at an angle at it....

Great pic.

All the best

I too have a very destinctive ring around my graft. my eyes are very very dark as i am half Italian and the ring looks like something from a sci-fi movie. I was really shocked when I saw it. It looks like i have 2 different coloured eyes now. I'm hoping this will settle down.
