The day after the op

I had the op yesterday and all seemed to go smoothly.  I had a gauze patch to wear until this afternoon and during the night I had a hard plastic shield to tape over my eye so that I didn't do any damage as I slept.

I saw the surgeon/consultant this afternoon and he says it looks good.  Judge for yourself:


You can see the join where the new cornea meets the old most easily to the left of the pupil, about 2/3rds the way across the iris.   You can also see the stitches - these are the dark lines going around the graft from the outside in.

I don't have much pain - there's some when I blink but that's about it.   Both eyes are watering more than usual but that's no bid deal
