Most corneal transplants have a favorable outcome, and success rates are rising as techniques and training methods improve.


CORNEA TRANSPLANT

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface of the front of the eye. The cornea along with the following helps protect your eyes from dust, germs, and foreign particles:

eyelid, eye socket, tears, white parts of the eye, or sclera, The cornea also permits light to enter your eye.

Your corneal tissue can quickly heal minor injuries and scratches before you experience infection or visual disturbances. However, deep injuries can permanently damage your vision. A corneal transplant, or keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy tissue from a donor.
