UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Hi everyone, not been on here for some time but hope someone has some advice

Some of you may recall in December 2006 I had a successful graft but then in July 07 in a freak accident I hit my own eye while waking up, losing the lens part of the eye and having to have the new cornea re-stitched. I now have a contact lens for that eye so have good vision in it most of the day.

I've noticed that when I move/lean my head forward to look in the mirror, my right eye (the damaged one) moves right and slightly out whereas the left eye just stays stull

Would this be because I maybe damaged some of the tissue which holds the eye in? My consultant has never mentioned anything though

I'd go to see my ophthalmologist; sooner rather than later.

That right eye has given me nothing but trouble for years! In my darkest moments I sometimes wish I would just have no vision in that eye because my left one is pretty good,

I guess many of us know how that feels. I know it is scant comfort, but hang in there; you may be able to look back on this as a depressing episode in your journey back to good sight.

You are in our thoughts.
