Serious question. It’s my vision so why not trust the opinion of you wise folks, right?
In 3-4 months I need to decide what to do.
My left eye vision is nothing more than detecting some movement and light/dark. I see a yellow-green haze and nearby objects that are red in color. The transplant I got is fine but took too long to heal from the poison still being present and wound up scarring and hence, the shit for vision. They had to do it immediately and not wait because The toxin melted a hole in my eye and it was leaking out. Think of the transplant they did as a band aid as well as a potential cure.
1. I can leave as is and go on about life fat, drunk and happy with one good eye.
2. I also have the option of another transplant attempt. Good: no toxin present should heal fine without scarring. Bad: much (3x) higher rejection rate due to the scarring and resulting blood vessel growth from the first one (a normal eye has no blood vessels on the cornea, they are below it). If it rejects, I have to go with option 3.
3. Last is artificial cornea aka KPro. Good: very low rejection risk. Bad: at risk of infection and subsequent eye removal (in worst case) for the rest of my life.
Whatcha all think? I am leaning toward leave as is but part of me wants one more stab at it. Not too keen on the artificial deal. Sounds too risky and invasive as if someone cutting and sewing your eyeball while you are strapped naked to a metal table isn’t invasive enough.
