Cornea Transplant

A cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces damaged or diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue to restore vision, relieve pain, or treat severe infections. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped outer layer of the eye that plays a crucial role in focusing light. When it becomes cloudy, scarred, or misshapen, vision can be significantly impaired.

A cornea transplant can significantly improve vision and quality of life for those with corneal damage. Advances in techniques (like DMEK) have made the procedure safer and recovery faster. If you experience symptoms like blurred vision, pain, or light sensitivity, consult an ophthalmologist to determine if a transplant is needed.
