I think I'm struggling because I don't see how they get a donor quicker (they come from same pool), other than gaming system somehow.
Can understand why that makes you uncomfortable.
Personally for something as serious as your health/eyesight I would take the opportunity despite the ethics involved.
If I were in that circumstance I would feel inclined to advocate for a fairer system at the same time though.
Yeah you get it.
There's different degrees of severity - so they might have a suggestion for non-graft eye (I know there's more options than on NHS)
Booked a consultation to see them. They can look at both eyes. It's not (much) money given stupid things I don't spend money on. Knowledge is power and also I can berate their entire existance and purpose while there.
The other thing is eyes are a bit wierd "shall we try this surgery that might work for £x,000 or might do nothing" is an odd one.
