Cornea Transplant
A cornea transplant is an operation to remove all or part of a damaged cornea and replace it with healthy donor tissue. A cornea transplant is often referred to as keratoplasty or a corneal graft. It can be used to improve sight, relieve pain and treat severe infection or damage. One of the most common reasons for a cornea transplant is a condition called keratoconus, which causes the cornea to change shape.
Cornea donations :
The cornea used in a transplant is removed from the healthy eye of a person who has died and donated their cornea. Corneas are rigorously checked for disease and infection before being transplanted.
