Overview

Corneal transplantation is a surgical procedure that restores vision by replacing a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea. The cornea is the clear, outer layer of the eye that focuses light. This surgery is a powerful solution for those who have experienced vision loss from corneal diseases or injuries, offering a chance to regain clear vision and improve their quality of life.
