Has anyone had a Cornea Transplant?

Hi Toby. While my experience with cornea replacement is still fresh on my mind, I understood that the main problems I was dealing with revolved around the proper/flat adherence of the graft onto my eye's surface. That resulted in 2 additional bubbles shot into my eye after my initial operation. My question to you is, has your vision been properly restored after your procedure? Is there a chance that there may still be some pockets of your surface where the cornea is still not sitting flat? In my time of desperation before my vision was restored, I just kept telling myself to trust the science. I hope you get through this successfully

@ricomartin: Thank you for your reply. I have seen my doctor several times since the operation. I was told that the operation had been successful, but that there continues to be inflammation. This has improved but I am still taking eye drops twice a day. The issues with contrast may improve within a year or less, so I'll have to wait and see. But, I have not been told that the issue is related to the adherence of the graft.
