Keratoconic aspiring medical student

I'm 19 years old and currently doing my alevels. I have keratoconus and had corneal transplant in my left eye last year. My vision is now almost 20/20 without any correction which suprises my doctor. He said he is very happy with the result. But right eye was implanted by Kera Ring (aka INTAC) . My right eye vision is now 25/20 without correction. My big worry is now whether medical school will reject me just because i'm a transplant patient? But my vision is better than even non keratoconic people. I might not need any correction at all after my sutures are removed completely. Can you as a doctor answer me that? Please? Will they reject me because i'm a transplant patient? And my cornea had a white ring surrounding it .. In the border of donor's button and my own cornea.. Will that ever go or will be there forever? (Note. Only one of my sutures have been removed)

Thank You so much!

Dear leoguy04,

The requirements for medical school should be listed on the school’s web site and information mailed to you during the process.

What about the white ring surrounding my donor's button? It's not really visible but can be seen under sunlight.. Will it ever go away?
