Many of the old-timers on here will know that I used to have lots of problems with the full-thickness graft in my right eye. Well, those troubles are now over, it seems... but I'm now wondering about my DALK-using-freeze-fried-cornea in my left.
Not that it is rejecting, because I understand that by using freeze-dried tissue, the eye has nothing to reject.
However, here goes...
Just before the wedding, Claire suggested that I replace my specs lenses with clear ones, rather than photochromic ones which would show up black in all the photos. I did this, and because my consultant had previously commented that my left lens could be improved, I got the new prescription.
The new left lens was a much lesser prescription than previously, and wonder-of-wonders, I could see through it... getting about 6/15 rather than the big blur I'd had before. Happy John
During the honeymoon though, I noticed that I was having driving difficulties - not being able to easily see from the left-hand mirror, and I soon reaslised that my left eye's vision was much worse than before. It's as if I'm looking through a vaseline-coated spec lens, but it's as clean as clean can be. Blinking doesn't seem to change everything, although some days are less worrysome than others.
I've got an appointment next week to see my optom to check things out, but in the meantime, has anyone else experienced this?
All the best
plus the current rejection episode in your left eye. I do not envy you. I thought my eyes didnt like anything in them, your eyes definantly dont.
