Q. Had corneal transplant and my vision is opaque now. Is this rejection?
Hi doctor,
I am having vision problem in my right eye. I had corneal transplant done and no stitches have been removed. My vision is opaque now. Is this possibly a rejection? For the eye, I am using Prednisolone, Timolol, antibiotic eye drops and Muro 128. I am diabetic and also taking medicines for blood pressure, cholesterol, depression and prostate problem. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- The outcome of the corneal transplant usually depends on the cause for which it is done.
- If it is done for optical reasons (vision) then vision is usually good.
- If it is done for therapeutic reasons (to save the collapse of the eye ball) then the visual outcome is poor.
- In your case it can be either transplant failure or rejection. This may be precipitated by diabetes.
- Also, sutures are not removed unless they are causing irritation in the eyes (not before six months at least).
- If you had a good vision before surgery then you are most likely to get even better vision after surgery.
- Keep using the same drops for three months and decrease the frequency of use as the time process and symptoms decrease.
- Please send high quality pictures of your eyes and old records for more suggestions.
