What is Cornea Transplant?

The cornea is the transparent, outermost layer of the eye. It helps to focus light onto the retina, which sends visual signals to the brain. A cornea can become damaged due to disease, injury, or wear and tear from contact lenses.

When a cornea becomes damaged, it can cause blurred vision, pain, and light sensitivity. A transplant is often the best option to restore vision.

Cornea transplants are typically successful, and most people with the Surgery experience improved vision. More than 98% of all transplants are successful in enhancing the image.
