Corneal Transplants and Diseases

Corneal transplants, also known as corneal grafting or keratoplasty, are surgical procedures that involve the replacement of a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy corneal tissue from a donor. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye, and it plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina, which enables us to see clearly.

Corneal diseases or conditions that may necessitate a corneal transplant include:

• Keratoconus
• Fuchs' Dystrophy
• Corneal Scarring
• Corneal Edema
• Corneal Infections
• Corneal Degenerations
