Corneal Transplant
The cornea is the clear part of eye in front of the iris and pupil. An unhealthy cornea can degrade your vision by scattering or distorting light and causing blurry vision or difficulty with glare.
The Cornea can become damaged and may need to be replaced. Fortunately, thousands of donors offer their corneas for use in transplantation. Corneal transplants are conducted as a way to protect the eye's inner structures, relieve pain, and improve the patient's vision. The process of corneal transplantation is quicker and less invasive than most people would imagine. Corneal transplantation is one of the most successful surgeries.
Corneal transplants are is a surgery performed by an ophthalmologist, or medical eye doctor. The surgery is often done on an outpatient basis at a hospital or an outpatient surgery center, allowing the patient to home following surgery.
