Corneal transplant is surgery that replaces a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea.
There are different types of corneal transplants. In some cases, only some layers of the cornea are replaced with new tissue. Sometimes, the entire cornea must be replaced. Recovering clear vision may take up to a year or more after surgery.
There is a chance that the transplanted cornea might be rejected by the body. Sometimes another cornea transplant may be needed.
If you have any questions about your eyes or your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
