I went back to the surgeon. He had a look at my eye, measured my astigmatism (but didn't tell me the measurement). He told me that it was so small that if he tried to change it it he was just as likely to make it worse.

I went to the optometrist 2 days ago and was told that my astigmatism was now 2.75. 0.75 worse then 1.5 weeks after the alteration to my stitches. Apparently this could still change but with glasses shouldn't stop me getting very good vision. I am still not seeing very well - but the surface of my eye still has to heal, and apparently there are some other bits in the cornea that are still healing up too. Which makes sense - the eye is still a bit sore and I am having drugs (steroid drops) to settle it down. I am going to have to wait a bit longer before I get glasses prescribed.
I was told it could take three months from the operation before all the healing is complete - that will be first week of March.
I expect with my table tennis I can use better eye sight then most....so I do hope 2.75 isn't too much!

4 and a bit weeks after operation
Very randomly when I woke this morning I found that I could see very clearly with my non-operated eye. Indeed when I put my glasses on it got worse. Actually for the last week or so while wearing glasses I noticed my vision was a little worse then often.
This is very odd and is slightly disturbing, my vision and the shape of my cornea really should not change from day to day, it's also pretty much unheard of for a cornea with keratoconus to improve! However as the change is an improvement in my non-corrected vision I am not as alarmed as I would otherwise be. I suspect too achieve the best possible vision I would still need glasses but with a much reduced prescription. I don't know if this is relevant to the operation but its certainly very weird and I thought I would note it here. I also have had a lot of sensitivity to light etc from this (well both) eye. This morning there was a lot of mucus in the eye when I woke up too. I don't know whats up with my eyes, they sometimes seem rather original!
I have had my vision change like this before a few times over the year much to optometrists surprise, however in the past it has usually been only for a few hours unlike this time where I think its been brewing to some extent over a few days, though it was only today that the vision was clearly better without glasses.
Overall my eye is improving steadily. I had been hoping to start work today but I think it would probably be wise if I put it off another two days.
