I have wait for the snitching to come out over the next few months. I'\m just grateful both eyes are now replaced with new corneas.

Hope it all goes smoothly for you.

One of my good friends had his replaced years ago.
Never knew until we were hanging out drinking and playing chess and his eyes had a crazy cat eye reflection.

Actually pretty cool.

Wow, that's a trip.. the cornea is the white part, no? So you kept your irises and pupils - they just put them in the new corneas?

Hope your recovery is quick

I had to wait until I was 34 since kernacortus stops progressing at the age. It's only been a week on my left eye since surgery and about three months on my right eye. It's just amazing how quickly your vision gets restored.
