Hi all,

as you know I am recovering from a cornea graft (transplant) as a result of Keratoconus. The pain is gone (albeit still sore from time to time, but I don’t consider that pain). My good(LOL) eye loses focus frequently (as it has done for a couple

  1. You’re absolutely right, about it being a decision to fight Keratoconus or not. My first decision was to ignore it and pretend my first diagnosis of it wasn’t true. Then for ten years, I did nothing about it, until my eyesight deteriorated to the point that corneal transplant was my only option. On my second diagnosis (the reason behind why I had created my current blog), I realized that I couldn’t pretend anymore that it didn’t exist. I’m happy to say that my transplant was a huge success and I’ve gone from the status of “legally blind” to “nearsighted” in the matter of a few months, in my left eye. The results always varies for every case, this disease sucks and there is no cure for it yet (I’m still hoping that medical science will catch up!). However, I believe it’s worse to not try at all and give up. Then the disease has won. Anyway, besides my rambles, I wish you lots of luck in your recovery, Greg! And I look forward to seeing more cool creations of yours! I always enjoying visiting you blog! 😀


    1. Yep. I know all about denial. I was in my early teens in the 1970s when I was first told that I would be blind by 21 and I totally denied it. Luckily the doctors were wrong, but it was only in 2007 that I even learnt how to pronounce what I have. And then I plunged into full research. It’s wonderful knowing that your surgery was a success. It make the future so much brighter, eh? 🙂 I feel that my operation is a success too. Already I’ve gone from legally blind to being able to discern letters at 6m (albeit large letters). The last week has been amazing. Thanks 🙂


  2. Greg, I admire you for your wonderful outlook so I doubt that Keratoconus will ever beat you. Like the Energizer Bunny, you just keep going and going! I’m sure it is difficult at times but it is the only way to continue on and enjoy life. You are a rock!


    1. Thanks Diane 🙂 You display a very high opinion of me. Inside my head I feel a lot less resilient. This said, I feel a growing determination and a range of ideas and directions. You may have seen my recent post on Facebook – but keep it hush hush here till I write my next post 🙂


  3. Hey Greg, great post man, it was interesting approach and some great tips 😀 also; speedy recovery with your eyesight


    1. Thank you 🙂 The eyes are getting there and I am glad that you found something useful. My posts tend to be brain dumps, so I am amazed when anything worthwhile comes of them 🙂 That is something that I am going to have to fix soon 🙂 Thanks 🙂


  4. Greg – It’s good to hear from you. Glad to hear you’re recovering and exciting to see you working on some modeling. Wishing you all the best for your continued recovery.


    1. Thanks David 🙂 I’m taking this opportunity to do a bit of a remake of myself, so let’s see what happens.
