do u have an update on your eyes? do you reccomend a transplant?

hi there

I am guessing you had a corneal transplant? I had one many years ago and don't remember having that kind of pain but i know everyone recovers at their own rate. I would have the stitched out and be sore for a day but then I wouldn't have much if any pain. I am sorry you are going through this and I hope it gets better for you :)

I totally can understand what you are saying. I have had 3 cornea transplants and it is very hard to deal with. I would try to ask your doctor if you could wear a bandage contact till your eye feels better. I really truly understand the frustration because I am having a cornea rejection and my left eye is driving me crazy. I am so sorry that this is happening to you.

I just had the cornea transplant 3 weeks ago, so far I have not had any stitches removed, I am however in alot of pain and that is due to the new cornea being scratched, Doctor said at night time there was a "cell build up" which led to scratching of my new donor cornea. All you can do is keep positive and ask him to give you some pain medicine, this whole process (cornea transplant) has made me very anxious and worried all the time, so I am asking him on Monday when I see him for a pain killer/sedative to help me sleep at night. Maybe you want to ask him for a drop or special pain med to help you feel comfortable. I wish you a speedy recovery!
