infection

Hi Sarah

Can't reassure you I am afraid as I have no experience in these matters. Hopefully someone will reply soon with some advice for you. Fingers crossed for you that all is ok and settles down in a few days.

Best wishes

Hi Satah,

After having my stitch removed yesterday i have been given antibiotic drops to use four times a day for three days and i am already using steriod drops four times a day.
So i wouldn't worry to much, it seems like everyone does it different
Just make sure you use the drops when you should

Take care
Anne

Probably just cautious. but if you are worried, ask him why you hve this relatively high dosage.

It is normal for ophthalmologists to be cautious; it is in their nature! (something for which we can all be heartily grateful).

At the AGM I asked Prof Buckley about the extended use of steroid drops and he said although it slows the healing process, the end result once healing is complete is far better and rejection is less likely to happen too.

i never got the chance to update you all last week so i shall now.....

after a 3 1/2 hour wait had the quickest check up ever. Its not leaking and looks beautiful.

Got to keep taking maxidex 6 times daily until next appointment (end of may). Asked why so much, got told just to be safe whilst gettin pushed out the door (they were closing)

still confused, but ill get answers at appointment.

hi sarah

am sure andrew is absolutely right, that they are airing on the side of caution.

gareths post is very reassuring too.

if they were shoving you out the door then they are probably happy with you as i'm sure if there was something wrong then they would have a team over you like a rash, the last thing that they will allow to happen is for your graft to fail in any way

good luck with your continued progress
