Corneal Transplant

What is a corneal transplant?

A corneal transplant is a surgical procedure in which part or all of a damaged cornea is replaced with healthy donor corneal tissue. It may help restore corneal transparency and improve vision when corneal damage cannot be adequately treated with other methods.

When is a corneal transplant needed?

A transplant may be recommended for advanced keratoconus, corneal scars, dystrophies, corneal edema, severe infections, or injuries that significantly affect the structure or transparency of the cornea. Different techniques are available, including full-thickness and lamellar corneal transplants, depending on which layers of the cornea are affected.

What specialist performs a corneal transplant?

The procedure is performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in cornea and anterior segment surgery. The specialist evaluates the condition of the cornea and determines which transplant technique may be most appropriate for each patient.
