eye replacement
by debbie187, Jun 20, 2008 10:44PM
my husband had a cornea transplant about 20 years ago. it has begun to deteriorate. it is really bothering him- sensitivity to light, painful etc. his dr. has said that he will probably have to have the eye removed. i realize there is nothing that can be done to save the eye. can a donor eye be used for cosmetic reasons. he is very upset about how he will look afterwards and is really bothered about the prospect of wearing a patch. also f he waits too long about doing something is there a danger of damaging his good eye.
