So had my transplant aug 23, been a month and of Course still has 16 stitches in left eye, anyone know how long it might take to safely shoot again? I am right handed so that is my shooting eye, but obviously the left is going along for the ride.

For something as serious as that I would seek the advice of my ophthalmologist. If the answer is unbearable, I would follow his orders anyway regardless of how much I was itching to shoot.

You might search around some shotgun shooters forums.Shotgun with give you about as much recoil as most shooters will experience.There maybe an eye doctor,that shoots and is familiar with the subject,that can give you some advice.People I've talked to said they waited about two weeks after cataract surgery.Cornea transplant is different.I've seen 8 weeks on that,but I'd seek professional advice.There is an eye doctor that goes by EyeDoc2020 on https://www.longrangehunting.com You might contact him an see what he says about it.

My first post here on the site, but I saw this while skimming. As a recipient of 5 corneas so far over the last 35 years, absolutely check with your surgeon. I've always had my stitches removed, except for this last one that is coming up on a year since the surgery. My surgeon said he would leave them in forever at this point unless one came loose and was causing irritation (they did remove one early on to loosen up an area of tightness). I'm typically very careful for the first three months after the transplant, FWIW. After that I'm usually good to go with anything.

Too bad they don’t allow pistols for hunting up there.
That’s what John Wooters did when he developed detached retina.
If you haven’t picked up archery, it might be the thing to get you back in the woods.
