Hey Jackie @bjackie. I am relating to you, your concerns and fears when it comes to your eye and what you're feeling. I cant offer the specifics you're hoping for but, I felt bad reading your posts and want you to know that I feel your anxiety and frustration. I had double cornea transplants and double cataracts when I was 43. During my cornea transplant surgery one of my eyes didn't go so well. My Iris flipped during the procedure and it left me with a full eye of blood and bad bruising. It was horrid to look at. I also had a gas bubble placed and during the recovery that bubble drove me insane. The severe light sensitivity was excuriating. I would sit in my room, a complete dark cave, under a blanket. Going into any light was like stabbing knives in my eye. I was very scared and it was a traumatizing time but I got through it. Patience is such a virtue yet hard to achieve when you're in the midst of pain and concern. My best advice is that the more patient you are, the better you will heal and that bubble will dissipate and you will start to have some relief. I do hope the scar tissue settles down over time. Keep us posted on your progress. I would love to follow up and see how things work out for you. Keep the faith keep, keep the patience and know you are not alone. 😊

Best to you,
Rachel
