Corneal Transplant

Why do you need it?

Corneal transplants are done to restore your lost vision for a person who has damaged one’s cornea. The transplant also relieves pain or any other symptoms associated with cornea diseases. Certain conditions are treated with a cornea transplant, which includes:

• Corneal Opacities
• A hereditary condition- Fuchs' dystrophy
• Tearing or thinning of the cornea
• Infection or injury influenced cornea scarring
• Corneal ulcers unaffected by the medical treatment
• Complications created by previous eye surgery

What are the symptoms?

Your immune system sometimes mistakenly attacks the donor cornea. This situation is called rejection and might require medical treatment or another corneal transplant. When this happens, you should notice these signs of rejection, such as:

• Losing your vision
• Eye pain
• Red eyes
• Sensitivity towards light

How can you prepare?

Here are a few procedures that are done before undergoing a cornea transplant:

• A detailed eye examination – The eye specialist will look for conditions that can cause complications after the surgery.
• Eye measurements – Your eye care specialist helps determine what size donor you need.
• A thorough review of all the ongoing medications and supplements - You might have to stop taking a few medications or any supplements previous to or after your surgery.
• Medications for other eye problems – Any infection or unrelated eye problems can lower your chances of a successful cornea transplant. Your eye care specialist will help treat those problems before the surgical procedure.
