Anyway I'm feeling positive about that and Dr Malood himself told me I will end up with good vision - eventually. He said he expects at least 6/7.5 which I think I would be very happy with. :)
My experiences with getting a partial thickness cornea transplant. The surgery was performed in December 2008 by Dr Anthony Maloof, a pioneer of such surgery in Sydney and perhaps the world(?)

Good news
It seems my cornea has stabilised which is good. The shape wasn't too bad but it wasn't ideal. Dr Maloof to my surprise was able to do a small operation on my eye to improve the astigmatism. It is only possibly to change the curvature in one direction with this technique. It was about 6.5 dioptres and he was aiming to reduce it by approximately 3 dioptres. He says he doesn't reduce by more then 3 at one time.
