Sept. 16th - 4 Days Post-Op:            Am I Having a Rejection Episode?

The swelling is going down, but every time I blink can feel something pricking me. I wonder if one of the stitches have broken. By afternoon, the pain, irritation and redness in my eye has increased and I'm worried about rejection. So at 6 PM I call Moorfields and explain what's happening. The doctor tells me to increase the steroid drops to every hour, but keep the antibiotic drops to every two hours.

It works and the irritation, pain and redness have gone by the next day.


The kids get a kick out of taking pictures of the eye being they can see the sutures so clearly.

The vision in the grafted eye is still very bad and I'm having dizzy spells when I try to walk with it open.
 Though the redness has gone, it's still super sensitive to the glare and it waters a lot. 

​My next appointment is Sept. 19th. They will check my grafted eye and try to fit the left (which is 2/60 (20/1000) now) for a scleral lens so i can use that to function better.
