Yep. I thought I'd win with my worries (and tbh they can keep grafting, but takes a 6 months wait list and 6 months to settle, so might stave off proper blindness)
You win. Well done(?)

Yeah but yours sound worse. Sorry buddy. Mine should be fixable, if needing permenant upkeep/repair. Does get me down loads though.
Right eye see this (but less focused)
