Hi,

I’m so sorry I live in Indonesia and don’t have information about ophthalmologist in America.

Maybe you can ask Hanorah (the previous commenter) at http://third-ear-eleventh-finger.blogspot.com/. She’s from US and a recipient too, maybe she can help.

Or check the websites that Dave gave me:
http://www.restoresight.org/ and http://www.illinoiseyebank.org/index.htm

Hope you can find what you’re looking for

Thank you for sharing, I’m glad you found me. You’re right, it’s nice to hear from people who share the same experience. I’ll check your blog soon.

Btw, sorry it took time for your comments to show up. Askimet accidentally moved them under spam, maybe because you put a link inside it. I didn’t know that until I checked my unpublished comments just now. I had to remove the link, but don’t worry it still show on commentluv

I have had a corneal transplant after a period of vision loss and blistering corneas. Mine was caused by a genetic disorder called Fuchs’ Corneal Dystrophy which I inherited from my mother and grandmother. I have a blog about the gift and the adventure of losing my vision and then having it restored. Vision loss can be so lonely even when you have people who love you deeply. It is isolating, confusing. It is a joy to communicate with people who experience something similar.

Glad to hear the surgery went well. I hope she has an easy time of it with the recovery!

My boss had a corneal transplant 10 years ago. He was about 5o. A few years later he had to have another surgery to fix something that went wrong but he’s doing well now. He had it at Johns Hopkins.

Thank you for the support. She’ll be 72 next week, so it’s like an early birthday present for her.

Goodluck to the operation, I will pray for that. How old is she now? Hope she can recover soon.
