About the Cornea Transplant

A cornea transplant, known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a portion of the cornea with donor corneal tissue. The cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface of the eye, allows light to enter and plays a crucial role in vision clarity.

A cornea transplant, may:

Restore vision.
Alleviate pain.
Improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea.

While most cornea transplant procedures are successful, there is a small risk of complications, such as rejection of the donor cornea.

Cornea replacement surgery may be required for various reasons:

Complications from cataract surgery leading to corneal failure.
Graft rejection following a previous cornea transplant.
Corneal edema or swelling.
Chemical burns from eye injuries or accidents.
Rare complications from LASIK surgery.
Irregular corneal shape and thinning due to keratoconus.
Management of eye diseases necessitating corneal intervention.
