What Causes Light Sensitivity After Corneal Transplant?

I had keratokonus in both eyes and it got bad in one eye so I had a corneal transplant, this was 2 years ago, i somewhat developed a slight light sensitivity after the operation but i am not sure if it was because of the transplant or because of keratokonus getting worse in the other eye. anyway 4 months ago I had lasik intralase on the eye with a corneal transplant and cross-linking+ intact ring on the other eye in an attempt to stop keratokonus progression. after the operations which I had all together i developed a high sensitivity to light I cant go out without sunglasses, It wasn't like this before the operations another complication is that I see halos or glares around light objects with the eye that went under cross-linking+ intacts it's like a round light around any light object. so what i want to know is why light sensitivity increased and which eye is responsible? is it the intralase one because of TLS or the crosslining and intacts one? and will the halos or glare decrease or are they permanent? I must remind you that the operations were 4 months ago

transplanttoesitivness. keratoconus can effect your vision. it can not be ascertain unless each eye is examined separately closing the other eye. get it examined by surgeon who have operated your eye.
