Corneal Transplantation

Corneal transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea. The cornea is the eye’s clear, dome-shaped surface that helps focus light and maintain vision. Conditions that might necessitate a corneal transplant include keratoconus, corneal scarring from infections or injuries, and endothelial dysfunction. There are several types of corneal transplants, including penetrating keratoplasty (full-thickness transplant) and lamellar keratoplasty (partial-thickness transplant). The procedure can significantly restore vision, reduce pain, and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. Advances in surgical techniques and donor tissue preservation have improved the success rates of corneal transplants, making them a common and effective treatment for various corneal diseases.
