So most of you might know, I am awaiting for a corneal transplant. Luckily, I only had to wait a couple months on the waiting list. My surgery will be around October. And I’m looking forward to it. The reboot of my life as I like to say.
Now some of you might be asking ‘Why are you excited for a painful 2 years of recovery?’ and I’d say because I want to get back on my feet and take on the world, but my eyes are stopping me from that. I want to become a music producer. And that means staring at screens all day everyday, even trying to write this post together is a challenge and a half. I want things to go back to normal, and want to be able to recover both physically and mentally and get myself out there in the world of work. Sadly, it takes time, but I won’t be a burden to myself or my family and use the free time I have to my advantage. I look forward to the future.
The exact procedure I am having is a Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK). A video of the sort of operation I’ll be having is in the link down below. Though it will likely be different to this:

Two years means a long way for me, but something tells that it will go faster than I can say Keraotoconus.
