This is an eye update for almost 2½ months post DMEK cornea transplant surgery on my left eye (see my previous posts about my experience with Fuchs Dystrophy and DMEK here and here). I have attempted to show my current state of vision with this diagram. Vision in my left eye is dramatically improved, but I still have a slight double vision effect. Otherwise, I am able to see details and textures that I have not seen in quite a few years. Colors are brighter and more vivid. My right eye has not yet had cornea transplant, so vision remains blurred, with images fading out as illustrated on the right side in this diagram.
I am able to read fine print again without resorting to a magnifier. Also, I am getting back to drawing on actual paper (as opposed to drawing on a Wacom screen where I can enlarge everything 200x). I am absolutely thrilled to be getting back to things which I had to set aside as the Fuchs Dystrophy progressed. However, my left eye is doing all of the work right now, and I still get this haze coming in from my right side. I look forward to the second cornea transplant which is scheduled for next month.
