post graft action plan needed

Postby Michelle Oates » Tue 08 Feb 2011 12:35 pm

hi all

had the graft 11 months ago and from my previous posts i had a setback where it is not the right shape as it should be.

i go back next month for the rest of the stitches to be taken out but they mentioned about deciding on an action plan as i need a strong prescription still.

just wondering what are the options after the graft

Michelle

Once all the sutures are out your eye will need a little time to settle into its final shape. Then your optometrist will be able to assess whether you can manage with spectacles or whether you need a contact lens again.

I wear glasses for my right eye and a contact lens for my left. This means that my glasses have a plain lens in the left frame and a lens with corrective power in the right.

All the best
