Failed penetrating keratoplsty (PKP)
I had a corneal transplant in Germany. Not so successful.
Very large astigmatism and transplanted a thin cornea. On the second eye at the time was a sharp keratoconus and I still see them better than the operated eye. But you know what vision. What do You recommend?
Do a second transplant on the operated eye or do a transplant on a new one. Now I'm 61 years old. Ill since eighteen.

Hello.
As you know, based only on your feelings and not seeing the eye itself + survey results + dynamics to recommend something difficult.
Possible ways:
1. If the vision in the eye after a failed keratoplasty, even with a large astigmatism, but stable, can make refractive replacement of the lens (I think, initial cataract you have, so sooner or later it pridetsja to do), putting a toric lens which will be removed the corneal astigmatism.
2. As for the second eyes - there is the same need to see if there's any dynamics and current performance. It is not clear whether you did the implantation of intrastromal corneal segments and crosslinking.
