Wow, thank you for posting that link (the one here about creating contact lenses for abnormally shaped corneas). I may need this in the future, and I hope they can get something going soon.

I had an accident before Christmas where a nail from a nailgun ricocheted twice, then punctured my left eye, hitting my retina before popping back out again. I had surgery and now have 20 stiches in my cornea in a diagonal line that may interfere with my field of vision when it finally heals up. A corneal transplant was suggested as a possible solution if I need it, but that has a 12 month recovery period, and I'm going nuts after only one month with one eye. I would pay any amount of money to avoid that.
