What is a Cornea Transplant?

cornea-transplant

Corneas are the most commonly transplanted tissue worldwide. When a cornea is damaged, a cornea transplant can be used to restore a normal cornea. Corneal transplant surgery removes the damaged portion of the cornea and replaces it with healthy donor tissue. Multiple layers of cornea transplants exist and all are offered at Eye Consultants of Pennsylvania. Depending on each patient’s condition (most patients receiving a cornea transplant typically have corneas scarred from infection or trauma, but keratoconus is a common diagnosis as well), our corneal specialists will recommend a specific type of corneal transplant, either a partial or full transplant.
