A member asked:
Can you tell me about cornea transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually successful: Corneal transplant is recommended when the natural cornea is damaged by trauma or illness and is in capable of transmitting a clear image. Pain is sometimes a component of this decision. The defective cornea is removed by a cookie cutting type device and the same cutter gets a donor cornea which is then sewn in place. Recovered is a bit slow but usually there are good results.
