Cornea Transplant: Week 13 or so

Went to my 3 month check up and the last stitch was taken out. My vision is still very blurry, which was a surprise to Dr. Perl as the transplant is very healthy and clear. Ran some tests to check for any internal (retina) problems and they all came up negative. The theory now is that the suture that goes around the incision area is causing distortion in the cornea. The suture isn’t coming out for another 5-6 months so it’s more or less a waiting game to see greater improvement. I’m still going to be on 3 drops of lotemax a day for 2 more months and the best news is no more guard over the eye while I sleep. That’s awesome as putting it on every night had been a chore after 3 months.
