Corneal Transplant Surgery

Cornea Transplant Restores Seriously Damaged Sight

Surgery is the only effective procedure to restore sight once the cornea has been severely damaged. The outpatient corneal transplant procedure is an organ transplant, whereby the damaged cornea is replaced with a healthy one. Corneas for organ transplant are provided by the eye bank which carefully screens all corneas to ensure safety and obtains the corneas in a professional and compassionate manner.
