What is Cornea Transplant?
A cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with healthy donor tissue. The cornea is the clear, front surface of the eye that plays a crucial role in focusing vision.
Why is Cornea Transplant Done?
It is performed to restore vision, reduce pain, and treat conditions such as corneal scarring, infections, keratoconus, or corneal thinning that impair sight.
Who is an Eligible Candidate for Cornea Transplant in India?
Patients with corneal damage, vision loss due to corneal disease, or those who have not responded to other treatments are considered suitable candidates.
Types of Cornea Transplant
