A member asked:
What do docs think? should eye vision worsen a few weeks after corneal transplant surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: It depends on several things. What was the reason for the transplant; is the cornea healing correctly, is the cornea rejecting, or is the angle of the new cornea causing astigmatism that needs to be further corrected with glasses or contacts. It sometimes takes months to completely heal. You need to discuss this with the eye doctor that did the transplant.
