Cornea Transplants
Cornea Transplant Overview
Eye injuries, scarring, disease, or swelling can cause the cornea to take on an irregular shape, leading to vision distortions. One solution to this problem in more advanced cases is a transplanted cornea from a donor. This method has been used frequently and successfully—find out if it’s right for you during your appointment.
How Do Cornea Transplants Work?
As with all procedures, the first step is scheduling an appointment to ensure this solution will work for you.
During the procedure, your surgeon will carefully remove the damaged or diseased cornea and replace it with a clear donor cornea.
Post-op Recovery
Following your procedure, your surgeon will provide prescription eye drops and advise you on what activities you can and cannot do. Your surgeon will go over your timetable for recovery but expect it to happen over the following months.
Signs That It’s Time for Cornea Transplants
- Corneal complications or failure following another eye surgery
- You have a hereditary corneal failure like Fuch’s cornea
- Scarring after infections, especially after herpes
- Rejection after initial corneal transplant
- Scarring after injury
