What sucked with my dad though is that he had a retinal detatchment (unrelated to the cornea transplant) about half a year after the cornea transplant, and that was a more serious operation. The recovery for that one is more painful, as they basically put a gas bubble into your eye to push your retina back into place, and you have to sleep with your face down for about a month.

I hope everything turns out for your dad well. Having eye problems like that can really be tough.
For me, my retinas are healthy, so I don't expect to encounter such a proble.
