OSUGT Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 My brother is having a cornea transplant today. For those of you that pray, please keep him in your prayers. For those of you who don't, no problem, just keep him in your thoughts today. If anyone knows someone who has had this procedure, please let me know the results. Recovery time? Thanks very much.

87GT Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 He will be in my prayers. What is your brother's name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUGT Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thanks to those who viewed and posted. His surgery went well. I can't believe it's an outpatient surgery that can be done in an hour. His prognosis (sp) is good. In about two months he should have correctable vision. A previous cornea transplant recipient from the same doctor has 20/40 vision after 6 months! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thats awesome to hear, Was he previouly blind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUGT Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thats awesome to hear, Was he previouly blind? Pretty close. He had a degenerating eye disease. He basically had no forward vision in that eye. Thanks for the well wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
