So glad I came across this 6 year old video! Have my surgery booked for next week but will need to cancel unfortunately as I don’t think I fully understood the recovery. Thought I would be “ok” at my dads funeral two days after my surgery and in all honesty I don’t think I’ll be ok as the eye will need to heal for much longer. Lots of advice I’ve received said it’s a “quick recovery” but I always thought it’d be more hectic :(

Thank you for advice and insight. I'm one week post surgery, have follow up tomorrow. My surgeon was not real clear on what to expect during initial recovery. Now I know I'm normal. Post surgery felt so good that we stopped and had Mexican and a margarita (NPO after midnight for 1pm surgery). By the time i got home, pain hit. Had been told take Tylenol, didn't touch it. had a couple of leftover hydrocodone/apap, they gave some relief. Now alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen. Still lots of tears, nasal drainage, very light sensitive. keep closed a lot but still sore from other eye. Work as firefighter, off work for 4 weeks. wife doing all driving. have 7 and 6 year old, already have been bopped in my face several times. got to have other eye done later. how long till blurred vision gone? mine was 20/50, my problem was keratin deposit s in cornea so a little different than yours. thanks again!

Yes, we can pray for each other. You are so right about the knowledge increasing in this (and other) areas as the Bible said it would. An example was one operation was that I would have to use a laser which was $1,000 out of my pocket. In 2 years it could be done with normal means. Still too risky. Now that rt. eye is so blurry, it may be time. To give you an idea of my condition, where I can read a line at 2 feet with lt. eye, it would be 8 inches with rt. Some what gets better as day goes on or in bright light. Do not know if I have 5 years left and may be too old for medical people to care.

I had a partial transplant that didn't work. Now it's the 5th week since I had a full cornea transplant. Vision is still blurry in the eye. Also very light sensitive. I drive only very locally - to the store, etc. Because the left eye is still blurry I haven't driven on the highwa yet and I can't drive at night because of the light sensitivity. I am confident it will return to normal, but it's a slow recovery.

I had PRK done and after 1st time left ey was great. Right eye was still a minus 10 and astigmatism, they said they thought they could get it better. Did a retouch a yr later. Got a little scaring, went to a specialist who said get 2 minutes Of m-c and I should be good. Had it done and got a infection, took over a month for tests to show it was fungal. Now my vision sucks out of the eye especially during day time. So light sensitive. Cornea specialist said a transplant was best way to go. I'm scared of doing anything again. 1st time little to no pain. 2nd was more, 3rd was awful probably because of the infection but still... just dont know what to do. I'm leaning towards it because I feel I'd see better without it if I went blind but hoping for a break.

Hello I am going to have cornea surgery in one month my questions are how long did you go to the doctor after the surgery my second question is did they put you to sleep. I would like to be put to sleep because I think I will freak out if I see what they are doing. Last question how long did you take without showering I am asking because I had retina detachment surgery last year and everyone thinks that because two days later after the surgery I took a shower and maybe water went in to my cornea. The doctor had said it was OK for me to shower. So I don’t know if that’s why fluids went into My eye. Thanks for doing this videotape is your vision now.

Hey, your video has been a great help, and I’m glad you are on the mend! I’m about to have a full cornel transplant next week as a result of a parasite getting into my eye from showering with contacts in! I was stuck in hospital for a month the Christmas before last and the parasite had left a scar in the centre of the cornea, this obviously causes me issues with my sight. As my now dominant eye was -6.5 I had no option other than to wear an eye guard to cover my bad eye for months as there was not point getting new glasses until my vision settled, so had to wear a contact in my good eye. After being treated for 12 months to ensure the parasite was gone, talk of lazer surgery (in both eyes! You got to love the NHS!) so I could avoid wearing lenses again. Unfortunately my Tennant left a deep scar bang in the middle of my cornea, causing me so many problems with light and having to readjust my vision, especially on the move ( so meetings in London are tough) my concern is what to do post op, as my glasses I assume will be useless, so will I have to resort to a contact in my good eye and the guard again for six months as I’m told this is how long it will take for the vision to settle? I’m also concerned about how I’m going to feel in the days after the op, I’ve been told I will be in hospital for 1 to 2 days, and I’m told it will be nowhere as severe as the months treatment I had 18 months ago( an eye drop every ten minutes for three days, so kept awake!) the pain I suffered then was light sensitivity and the pain of the drops ( which I was told was basically swimming pool cleaner) but the pain you mention sounds nothing like I went through, and none of this has been mentioned to me, any comments on how people have felt in the days after and any suggestions regarding corrective lenses post op would be most welcome! Thank you for your video, I’m sure it’s helped a few people in my situation.

Hi, I am schedule to have my cornea replaced next month. Did you have an air pocket put to help elevate your eye pressure? I have juenvile glaucoma and noticed my right eye becoming cloudy. I found out by my specialists i had cataracts plus my cornea was going due to all my glaucoma surgeries. I am getting so scared. By any chance how did you find your eye specialist? I am asking because I am thinking of going to a doctor a lot closer to me. but i built a relationship with my eye specialists for years now. Anyways, after your surgery for the first week were you told to lay down at a 45 degree angle and look up so that your new cornea would heal correctly? My dr. recommended this new cornea specialist to me and he explained after the surgery I would need to do that. take a break then go back to lying down. after watching your video I am scared i will be in a lot of pain now.

Hi what’s the vision like out of your eye now I’ve had a full thickness cornea transplant on my left eye on the 24th October 2019 the whole operation was pain free and I found it really easy I was out a day after later this year I’m having it done again on my right eye the vision in my left eye is still quite blurry the reason for my message is I understand that between 6 and 12 months your vision ends up being good so I’m just wondering what yours is like now cheers lee
