URGENT EYE ADVICE

Now had a second opinion and it's been confirmed that I have been registered as officially sight impaired.
I have corneal damage to both eyes but very damaged to what was my good eye.
I asked about a corneal transplant but was told it wouldn't be successful because of advanced damage caused by being diabetic for 41 years.
Thanks for all your lovely replies George

I had cataracts on both eyes and had to go private to have them removed as the local hospital would not do anything.
I had one done and the other done 2 weeks later.

The best thing i ever did, they also made lenses to improve my distance vision, brilliant job,15 mins each eye and no problems.
Take the op and keep on enjoying drving.
Best of luck.

Hello everyone again
Well I'm going into hospital on 20th April and they are going to replace the damaged cornea
The surgeon said it will take him about 1 year to try and get the vision back slightly in that eye
I'm so excited about having this done and hope it all goes well
I will let you know how it goes later in April
George
 
That sounds hopeful hope it goes well for you in April and you get some vision back in that eye good luck to you.

John.
