What are corneal transplants for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Replace cornea: If the cornea, the window at the front of the eye, gets cloudy or has unusual infections like amoebas, or is seriously misshapen, then the cornea from a donor can be substituted to provide relief and clarity of vision.
