Thank you @hopeful33250 for your reply and the links. I am really appreciated it. I will follow the conversation link you provided. I am able to function with current vision problems, but it is not well like before. I cannot drive at night at all and even as a passengers since the incoming cars headlights are too bright for me and I couldn't look straight at all. I can read about an hour and I have to rest my eyes for a while like 3 hours. The worst is I cannot be in the bright room because I see lots of floaters. I cannot look at the white wall or white papers since all kinds of black lines and spots. So I cannot work. It's been almost a year and is not subside. I am very depressed. I was wondering if Corneal Tattooing will help me not to have these vision problems. I would like to have infomation on good doctor who perform corneal tattooing procedure, If you find those information, please let me know. Thanks again @hopeful33250 !

Hello @mandalaythu

If you want to find a doctor who is experienced in doing this type of procedure, I would recommend that you visit a well-known eye center. I'm assuming that you live in the U.S. If that is the case, you might consider going to a university medical school in your area that has a well-respected eye center. You could also try a research-oriented center like Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, or another one in your area.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology might also have some recommendations. Their website address is http://www.aao.org. Here is an article from the website of The American Academy of Ophthalmology. The article is dated 2017 but it gives a description of corneal tattooing,https://www.aao.org/clinical-video/corneal-tattooing.

I hope this helps you in your search for a second opinion. Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?
