Thank you for replying Blues&twos.
I have spoken to ophthalmic surgeons at Moorfield's about this -- the latest artificial irises are so good that I'm told an optician would struggle to detect them, even under a slit lamp.
There shouldn't be any glare or halos.
The old corneal grafts had all kinds of problems associated with them, astigmatism for example, and rejection.
The replacement of just the inner (endothelium) layer is so good that they tell me the cornea will be as healthy as the other eye, two to three weeks after the graft.
