Appointment time again on Monday, now 17 months post graft. Really hoping to try a lens and hopefully have binocular vision again.
OK I've shared my excitement, I'll try to think of other things until monday. Here's hoping the appointment will not be cancelled nor will it be the usual of just see how things are in a couple more months!

Val,
Wish you all the best.
If they should try and send you off for another couple of months say you really want to try glasses and you know the prescription may change, but you really want/need to start using that eye again.
All the best.

Thanks All

I tried that last time. My consultant said he was happy for me to try an optician for an interim pair of specs. I tried this with no success, my vision was still poor. I am pinning my hopes on a lens. I will let you know how I get on.

Val, we will have to talk again on tuesday. I also am off to the Optician on Monday, hopefully for a contact lens......perhaps wide enough to cover or bridge the bumps on the graft. I guess this clinic in on the "hurry up" plan as this will be my Oct. 2006 graft eye. Here, they want to start fitting lenses at about 3-4 months if possible. What I really want is to stop seeing the multiples and ghosts at close range, be able to wear normal reading glasses and see well enough to drive again.
Anyway, best wishes with your visit........hold out for the best vision possible, for I fear that once you say OK and shake the Doctor's hand you (or I ) am off the list and won't get any further help.
Cheers, Piper

Piper!
Every good wish next week. I look forward to hearing from Val and yourself on how you get on.
I shall be away from my computer for a week or so (General Assembly time), but will check in whenever I get back.

Do hope all goes well for you on Monday.
Think I know just how you must be feeling...although I'm trying to come to terms with never totally losing those multiple images ...
Let us know how you get on.
