i suggest you go to hospital and see an ophthalmologist ASAP. so soon after the graft it is better to be safe and have someone look at it.
let us know...

When people are right they are right; go to the hospital and get it checked.

Hope things are sorted for you now. Let us know.

I'd be surprised if the bandage lens had moved. They tend to be too big to be able to move but suppose can get different sizes. As you know I had mine in for over a year and it never moved and I am a wriggler in bed and accidentely rubbed it a couple of times. Are you wearing a shield at night to stop you rubbing your eyes on pillow etc?
