I can have new glasses!!!!!

No, not the sunglasses in the pic, though they are relatively new.

I had an appointment with my consultant last week and he said my eye had settled enough to have a new prescription.  This is great news as it's less than four months since the successful corneal graft and the waiting period for a prescription can be up to a year or eighteen months.  I've booked an optician's appointment for 15th September but we're off to Lincoln the following weekend then on from there to France so I won't be able to collect my glasses with the new lens until after we get home on the 11th or 12th October,   Until then I'll carry on without my glasses.  Without glasses I have goodish vision in my left eye up close (about 6 inches) so I can read, but my distance vision is not so good, about the same as any other short sighted person not wearing their glasses I suppose.

My right, as yet untreated eye, is longsighted and the difference between the two does cause some problems so I find I often close my right eye when needing to see as clearly as possible.  I did ask the consultant about whether I can have a partial graft on my right eye and he said at our next appointment, on 5th November, we can discuss the what, when,  where and who of the next operation.
