My mother had graft rejection third time within two years. Post operatively there was vitreal haemorrhage which led to exudate in anterior chamber. Intaoccular anti-biotics were given. USG report was diagnosed as vitritis & inflammation of choroid & retina.There was total loss of vision thereafter.Diagnosis on discharge from the hospital was --post-operative endophthalmitis postoperative lt eye p.k. with graft infiltration. The rt eye is a dead eye since last ten years.
How can my mother get her vision back ? Where ?

unfortunately ther eis no way i can answer that question without examining your mothe ror at least having access to her records- it sounds like she has had a very tough time with that eye- ii might consider a trip to a university center for a second opinion good luck
