Ok this week we are looking at cornea transplant the cornea is the transparent outer layer of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. If someone’s cornea becomes damaged or diseased they will not be able to see correctly, a cornea transplant can be performed to fix the problem.
There are many things that can cause damage to the cornea such as bacteria or viruses, a chemical injury, a cut or scratch or just aging.
This operation is very difficult, surgeons work using a special operating microscope to magnify the eye 30 to 60 times what it is.
The damaged cornea is cut with a circular blade with a hole in the centre, kinda like punching out a circle of pastry with a pastry cutter, after this is done the damaged cornea is removed.
Then the surgeon cuts a disc from a healthy donated cornea and places it carefully in the hole, with this new disc being held in place by stitching it to the edges of the cornea.
This new cornea will allow the person to see clearly again in a couple of months; however, the stitches need to be in place for a year.
After the operation the patient only needs to stay in hospital for a short while, but they must take great care, they will need special drops to help the eye heal and be kept clean. Only gentle movements are allowed for a few days to give the new cornea time to settle into place. After a few weeks things should return to normal.
After donated corneas are removed they can be stored in an eye bank for up to a month they are kept at between 2 & 6 degrees centigrade in a special solution containing chemicals and drugs. Which keep them healthy till needed, now days there are artificial corneas which are a synthetic implant that can be used if there is no natural one available or if there has been failures when transplanting in the past.
The first cornea transplant was in 1906, since then the advances in medicine have made it one of the most successful transplant operations. The cornea has no blood vessels and therefore the white blood cells of the immune system cannot reach it and the body is very unlikely to reject the new tissue.

Good afternoon we are looking at some of then issues that can arise with our eyes.
Now you may or may knot know there is a clear layer of membrane that covers the eye, this is usually colourless, and it has tiny blood vessels which are too fine to see.
First off is bloodshot eyes, this happens when the eye becomes infected or irritated these tiny blood vessels which is seen as fine red threads thus the name “bloodshot”. Bloodshot eyes usually return to normal slowly after the cause has gone.
Second off we have conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, this is caused by infections, allergies, or irritants that inflame the membrane covering the white of the eye and inner eyelid.
There are three different types, viral, bacteria and allergic.
Viral is most commonly caused by adenoviruses but can also stem from herpes simplex or varicella-zoster viruses. Often associated with colds or respiratory infections. It is highly contagious.
Bacterial infections are caused by bacteria like Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, or Haemophilus. Spread through contact with contaminated items (e.g. towels, cosmetics, hands). This is also contagious.
Then we have allergic which is triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain cosmetics. Typically affects both eyes and may accompany hay fever symptoms like sneezing and itchy nose.
Third we have spots and floaters, these are quite common and appear as black or gray spots, squiggly lines or could be blurry or shadowy spots. They move as your eyes move and are most noticeable against bright backgrounds like the sky or a white wall.
They are caused by changes in the gel-like substance inside your eye, but sudden or severe symptoms may signal a serious condition.
You should seek medical attention if, floaters suddenly increase in number, you see flashes of light, there’s a loss of peripheral vision or floaters begin to impair your vision.
Ok I am going to share a bit more about our eyes today I am focusing on eye care. Our eyes are so important, and we need to try and take care of them.
One simple thing we can do is to wear eye protection not just when working around or with things that capable of harming our eyes, but we now know that our eyes also need to be protected from the sun thus, the reason we should wear sunglasses. Most of us know we shouldn’t look directly at the sun.
However, there are some who do not realise that snow reflects a lot of light and the glare can also damage our eyes through snow blindness, this is why snow goggles should be regarded as essential when enjoying the snow.
Something many don’t think about is cleaning our eyes this is simple to so by washing our face of a morning to remove what many will call the sleep around our eyes overnight. We also should remove any make up before going to bed at night. Then there are those who wear contact lenses, some have left their contacts in longer than what is considered safe and do not clean their contacts as often as they should.
Now days there is the damage that can be done by sitting in front of a computer screen, if you are finding your eyes feeling itchy and dry then you need to take a break from staring at the screen. Apparently when we are looking at the computer screen we don’t blink enough, anyone who finds their eyes feeling dry or itchy they should consider using some dry eye drops also know as artificial tears.
As we age having our eyes checked by an optometrist which here in Australia is free to do. I have my eyes checked every year as I have diabetes.
I will write more about the different conditions that can affect the eyes in future posts.
Ok I am pretty sure everyone knows that a baby is able to see as soon as it’s born and you may know that vision isn’t fully developed but continues to develop gradually over the next few months.
Before birth as early as 22 days of conception two shallow dips develop in the embryo, as the pregnancy progresses the eyes will form as the sight of these dips.
The progression is controlled by a series of genes, if any of these genes are abnormal, they eyes may not develop properly. There are conflicting thoughts about what other things may cause the eyes to not develop things like the mother being exposed to viruses, insecticides, radiation and environment pollution may cause deformed eyes, very small eyes or not having eyes at all.
At birth the structures are fully formed but the nerves that carry signals from the eye to the brain are not, light enters the eye so the baby can see but cannot make sense of what it sees.
A newborn can detect bright colours and big patterns and can focus on things 20-30cm’s away. Within a week they can distinguish their mother’s face.
By the time they are 3 months old they are able to focus on things around them and follow things with both eyes. They now blink when something is pushed towards their face, and their colour awareness has increased. Also, at this time their hand/eye coordination is starting to develop and will reach for things that attracts their attention.
By the age of 6 months most babies are starting to see as adults see, they can spot small objects and can accurately track movements up and down, side to side, backwards and forward. Their colour vision is fully developed.
By the time they are 1yr old the sense of sight is fully developed.
It is important to check a baby’s sight is developing properly as the sooner a problem is detected the sooner is can be tended to. The first check should be at birth then at 6mths of age, the doctor is checking that both eyes are working together and that the baby isn’t near or far sighted.
I slept well, woke at 5am got up took my meds and went back to bed for an hour, I had 8hrs & 45, ins of sleep and don’t remember waking at all during the night.

I have posted about the causes of falling today I want to share some information about getting up after a fall.
It is important for people who may have a fall know how to get up after falling, also it is good for other people to know the best way to help someone up after a fall.
If you have fallen, lie still for a couple of minutes and check that you are not seriously hurt, slowly work your way up your body, carefully checking for pain or bleeding and slowly moving your limbs, one at a time.
Take your time. Roll onto your hands and knees and look for a stable piece of furniture, such as a chair or bed.
If possible, find something soft to kneel on to protect your knees. Hold on to the furniture with both hands and use the furniture to assist you in getting up.
Bend up one leg and plant your foot firmly on the ground. Use the chair or furniture to carefully push yourself up. Take your time.
Remain supported with your head forward until you are sure you have properly got your balance. Carefully push yourself up to a standing position.
Take time to recover and phone someone to tell them what has happened.
If you are hurt after falling the first thing you need to do is try to get someone’s attention if out in public do this by calling out for help. If you have a phone and you should have one on you if falling is serious risk, call someone to help.
If your injury is bad as in maybe a broken bone or you are bleeding a lot, you should properly call for an ambulance.
If you are in your own home while waiting for help, try to reach for a blanket or dressing gown to keep you warm. Wrap yourself up to insulate yourself from the ground, especially keep your legs and feet warm. Try to stay as calm as possible.
One way to help someone up after a fall is to find two sturdy chairs. Place one next to the head and the other down by their feet. Keep in mind that they must be capable of doing the physical work required to get up. Your role is to help guide them through these steps and keep them steady, not lift their weight. If they cannot do this, then call an ambulance.
Help the person to roll over onto their side and assist them in getting onto their hands and knees. If they suffer from sore knees, place a towel beneath them to make this step more comfortable.
Move the chair closest to their head directly in front of where they are so they can rise up to place their hands evenly on the seat and assume a kneeling position. Get them to lean forward on the seat as they bring their strongest leg forward, leading with the knee to place their foot flat on the floor.
Move the second chair directly behind them, then ask them to use both their arms and legs to push themselves up and sit back into this chair. You can use your hands to keep them steady but keep your back upright and make sure they are doing the physical work to lift themselves.
I remember when my youngest sister or my brother had to help our dad up after a fall, they would stand behind him with a chair in front of him have him get his balance with foot flat on the floor, they would place their hands under his armpits and have him place his hands on then chair and push himself up. By having their hands under his arms, it was easy for them to assist him as he was pushing himself up.
I had another good night had 9hr6mins sleep was awake for 7mins. 5C this morning, so bloody cold.
Tim had to leave for work at 2am he should be home by 8am.

Coles was delivered around 8.15am but got message from Woolies at 7.30am saying there was logistical breakdown, and my order would be late, received another message at midday saying the order would be 240mins late.
Sue took me to physio, while there Jess rang to say my shopping had been delivered. So much for being hours late.
Physio went well, the physio’s name is Noah, and he was nice, I have of course been given some exercises to do each day I go back on the 2nd.
I set up the Cpap machine Tim bought for his use, it is actually an Apap machine, something I have never heard of, I didn’t have to set a pressure number. I hope it helps him. However, he does have issues with a blocked nose and that may make things difficult, but we will see.

KIRSTY & VAUGHAN’S BIRTHDAY YES, THEY ARE TWINS.
I slept well even if my watch says I only had 6hr 56mins sleep was awake for 11mins. That doesn’t seem right I went to bed at 8.30pm work up at 5am.
Asked Tim how he slept he said he removed the Cpap mask during the night as his nose was blocked, and he couldn’t breathe.
Sue and I went to the podiatrist then home, it has rained on and off all day.
Sue sent me a video she shot around Charlestown of the police helicopter circling around and so many cops around the area. A man had been stabbed in a carpark and they were looking for the perpetrator. Part of what Sue was shown on the 6pm news
Of course, it was raining when I went to meet Sam this arvo.

I slept well even if my watch says I only had 6hr 48mins sleep and was awake for 19mins. That doesn’t seem right I went to bed at 7.30pm work up at 5am and I didn’t wake at all during the night to pee.
Sam let me know that I don’t have to meet her this arvo as she is going to Bailey’s for a bit.
Sue and I went shopping and saw Sandy and Denni which was great, Sandy told me I walk like our Nan did, and Sue said that on Tuesday when she looked at me, she thought I looked like Nan these comments I take as a compliment
