hiya gang

had the long awaited appointment today, well they proclaim the eye is to damage for xlinking, and intacks. they said the both corners will to be removed at the same time.

so they set a date for surgery . They said i will be in for two weeks because of having both done at the same time.

i actually felt the guy was clown, is this common

That sounds like bad news! One good thing is that there is a huge amount of experience worldwide in cornea transplant surgery.

It is not at all common for people to think that ophthalmologists are clowns; these are people in whom we all need to have the utmost confidence. If your own confidence is shaken or undermined then you are entitled to ask for a referral to another ophthalmologist.
