I had a cornea transplant that didnt work

After an injury that occured to me in 2002 from a paintball hitting my right eye during some training in the military. I have been though about 4 different surgeries over the 7 years the latest was in October 2008 when they did a retina reattachment and a cornea transplant. I never recovered any site even though before these latest surgeries I had vision.

What are my options now. the VA hospital is taking care of it and they have given up on it. I saw stem cell research is out there or getting artificial cornea transplant. I am angry that they have given up on me I am a 30 year old female.

See a corneal specialist in the private sector.  I can not tell from the post if the vision is poor from a corneal or retinal problems.
