Today I went in to Cincinnati Eye Institute for my 8-month follow up with Doctor Edward Holland.   The visit followed the same routine as before – corneal surface scan, vision check, pressure check, doctor chat, and suture removal.

My vision is not changed much – and the topography showed that my astigmatism has shifted axis, and Dr. Holland adjusted his suture removal strategy.  I had two sutures out today, which was quick and painless.   My eye pressure was in the normal range and my optic nerve looked just fine.   He told me not to worry about the eye pressure as long as the optic nerve looked good.

The only big news is that in 6 weeks, I’ll be stopping my steroid drops!  This is a bit early and reflects the fact that my cornea is “crystal clear.”   I’m to watch for inflamation around the graft, but none is expected.

I hate late morning appointments.  I left Lexington at 8:30 and wasn’t back until 2:30.  My next appt is at 7:55 AM.  I’ll probably be back in Lexington by 11:00.
