Thanks so much I had a cornea transplant and your videos are very helpful and in detail unlike other videos , especially about your sight and exercise and after care . Thankyou so much kellie !!
Hello, hows your transplant today?
Idk if you still do this but i would like you to tell my story about my surgery. And my process because unfortunately o had a horrible experience and my eye is back to my old vision and I havent been able to get treatment
I'm curious how your transplant is holding up, and whether the crosslinking was worth it.
It was inpossible to hear that pain medication??? Talenoff 3 or something… i got co/codeine which done nothing
Thanks, Kelly. My transplant is happening next month and I’m scared. Your videos help.
Was your eye sore after the numbing drops wore off?
My full corneal transplant is scheduled for next week and I been stressing and freaking out about it ..glad I found you here Kelly ,cause ya really got me to relax n chill a whole lot... Thank you for sharing your experience .. appreciate you , ~ Jamie 😎 4/2/24 Edit: btw , sorry but I must say your absolutely drop dead gorgeous!! Lol.,I just couldn't resist tellin' you that .... 😁
Have my surgery in a day
Did you have both eyes done?
I just had my first half set if sutures removed and it feels gritty and is uncomfortable when open and blinking so I’ve just been keeping that eye closed. It’s so uncomfortable and my eye is red and tearing heavily. So been patting it and blowing my nose alot since leaving my appointment
Hows your eye now??
I'm going to need one soon my cornea is still thinning
I have same diseases for last 20years... whole life ruined...its like basically you are disabled person but people can't see that so they don't believe you😐
Thanks
Thank you for sharing
Kelly Hi! Please update us how you are doing thesedays!!🥹
Hi,we are talk?
Thank you for such detailed description, best on youtube!
Did u have to look up for 24 housers
Did u feel like u had things in ur eye? Specially the day after the surgery?
Yes it definitely feels like something is in your eyes very irritating
Your visión get better, same or worse after crosslinking?
Loved the spray bottle body wash tip! Hoping you heal nicely, I’m having this surgery next week and it’s great to know what to expect because Dr keeps making it seem like it’s a breeze ugh
Hey I just wanted to thank u for all this information u have giving in your videos. I just had my transplant done march 8th it's almost been 2 weeks now and I can see the results. I was so scared of having this surgery. But your videos helped me. Thank u so much 💓 💗 💖
Must be nice to have a rich mommy and daddy that pay for everything
Medicare can also pay for it
Please answer, did getting the transplant on your right eye improve vision in that eye to the point where you could see well out of regular contacts and glasses?
So I have a few questions, didn't the doctor tell you to never wash you contacts with tap water? Also you use your hands to put your contacts in? They gave me an inserter.
Did you have minor pain on the operated eye, in the first month?
Hi Kelly i was recently diagnosed with kc and i Was wondering why after cross linking would you need hard contacts ? And thanks again for the informational video.
hi . i have keratoconus with light sensitivity (photophobia). i have to do this surgery. will i have light sensitivity after cornea transplant? or Intensity going less?
Hello i just had my cornea transplant 12/13/2021 im very sensitive to light as of now i have my next follow up in 2 weeks my eye is still swollen and red i still see cloudy
Thanks alot for this
Attention all plzz. I have done cornea transplant before 14 days and my vision is good then before now but day by day going very batter after 1 day surgery. The doctor said to me ur operation is very better. And after 7 days checking the another doctor's said to me after check ur operation best ... I have fell no pain after operation.
Full thickness
Hi please does anyone know what happens 15-20 years after a cornea transplant?? I’m 18 and am getting it done soon so by 30 will my vision go back to being bad or what? Does anyone know ?
Transplants usually last more than 10 years. I have seen patients with 15- 20 years of graft. It is very hard to tell how long it will be there. Best bet it take care of it as best you can to prevent infections or any trauma to the eye. Always ask your surgeon about these. Thats the best source of your information.
Thank you for doing these videos. I watched them before my transplant and it helped me prepare myself for this process. My doctor didn’t mention wearing the button up shirts or the timed spacing of drops. So I followed your process and had excellent results. I am very grateful I found you on you tube. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Did they numb your eye when taking off sutures?
They have too
I had the first surgery for my left eye 2 days ago. My doctor said no pain medicine or numbing drops at all. It was very painful. What type of pain medicine you were prescribed? I'm very worrabout going through that again in 3 weeks when I do my right eye. He said pain medicine will effect the healing process which I don't see how
Hey ! Hope you are doing well. How is your vision now ? Any blur ?
I’m getting a transplant in a week or so. Really nervous thank you for doing this. Everyone is a dr saying what it is not a patient
How long did the haze last after surgery
I got a DALK transplant for a corneal scar from acanthamoeba keratitis 2 days ago. It sounds like you got DALK too! I’m enjoying your videos about your transplant!
Same with me, I had a DALK in 2018 due to Acanthamoeba infection. Will do another transplant, this time a full thickness one.
This is crazy going through everything your going through right now lol. My hair was so oily I was scared to even try to wash it. Also I know it’s been 5 yes but did you taste your drops I feel like it’s dribbling in my mouth. You said you could not see the largest letter before your surgery, what was the reason you needed the transplant? I stabbed myself in the eye when I was little (7 accident) and 11 yrs ago I was hit in my eye and had to have emergency surgery where they pumped my globe back up and they did not out a lender back in so I can barely see I can see light and patterns. The reason for my surgery was my eye is always dilated and I have brown eyes but my right eye is blue and foggy so I have one blue eye and one brown. 2 days after my transplant I ended up in the hospital they thought it was an early infection which it was just my eye was bruised really bad my whole white was red, tomorrow will be 3 wks and it’s still red and tender to touch did you have any red or tenderness 3 wks after your surgery?
I have to go to an eye specialist because I might have keratoconis I’ve had glasses since I was 8 and my eyes have just been getting worse and my optometrist mentioned that I have to get tested because I keep losing my vision, it sounds like it really sucks so I hope it’s not the case, I hope things get better for everyone who has keratoconis. Much love.
I'm only seeing these videos now, because I'm having my cross-linking procedure done this Thursday (wish me luck, I'm bracing for the pain for 1-2 days after!), but I wanted to thank you for posting these videos. They're a huge help!
Can you give a update once you are done with the procedure. Thanks again
@@truegrizzlesfan2292 Sure! I had my right eye done two weeks ago, I’m having my left eye done tomorrow. I thought I was going to have epi-off (where they take the outer layer of skin on the cornea off, if you don’t know the term), but I actually had a form of epi-on. This meant the post-op wasn’t painful or uncomfortable at all-literally 0/10. YMMV, but I’m hoping for the same experience on the left eye. If you’re curious, I got my procedure done at Ophthalmic Consultants of Connecticut with Eric Donnenfeld. He’s one of the leading keratoconus specialists in the country/world it seems, so I trust epi-on was the right choice.
@@alexjones8545 thanks for the info. Lastly, what are the recovery time. Before the surgery: what was your vision . after the surgery: what vision do you expecting to have, once everything heal. Thanks again bro.
@@truegrizzlesfan2292 If you have epi-on, the recovery time for the cornea could possibly be as short as 1-2 weeks-NO guarantees, as I’m not an expert. Like most people, I’m expecting my vision to be the same after the procedure, since the aim of CXL is to simply halt the progression of the disease. I have a scleral lens appt booked for May 3 though :)
Hi. I just had a cornea transplant for the left eye. You missed important fact that after 15 years your cornea endothelial cells will die and you have to go a DESAK transplant. You start with around 2700 endothelial cell and when you reach 400 your vision becomes fuzzy and turns white.
Im considering this surgery as none of treatments didnt work well. How do you think about this surgery after 5 years experiences
Great video follow ups 👍🏾
My eyes were really bad but I could still see a little. I was on the nhs waiting list during 2019 but they never called me in. I rang up for confirmation and was told to wait. Then from February of 2020 my eyes were worse and legit cannot see anything. Double vision, transparent text, blur, floaters etc. Went to a pro opticians and he told me I have keratoconus and my left eye is damaged more and little scarred. Now I have an appointment booked for 22 February 2021 and then I’d be told whether or not a surgery is needed. I’m actually nervous because hearing you tell us about your experience made me get anxious, but now seeing how you went through it at my age (23 now) I’m feeling positive with my check up regarding which surgery is required
Thanks alot! How long after the cornea transplant were all the stitches removed from your eye?
how’s your sight before and after ?
I had a partial cornea transplant 4 years ago and by day 2 I was not allowed to be sitting up unless I was in the bathroom. I had be completely flat on my back for the first three days after surgery, I wasm't allowed to be alone for the first 2 weeks after surgery in case I got dizzy and fell. My nieces were so excited because they got to "jana sit" lol. I too was on toberdex as well.
