Cornea Transplant Surgery — What You Need to Know

 When it comes to restoring vision, cornea transplant surgery can be life-changing for those with severe corneal damage or disease. This procedure involves replacing a damaged cornea with healthy donor tissue, offering hope to individuals suffering from conditions like keratoconus, corneal scarring, or swelling.

There are different types of cornea transplants, including full-thickness (penetrating keratoplasty) and partial-thickness (lamellar keratoplasty) options, depending on the severity of the condition. The surgery itself is usually outpatient and involves precise removal and replacement of the affected tissue.

Post-surgery care is important, requiring regular follow-ups, medication adherence, and careful lifestyle adjustments to ensure healing and prevent complications.
