A member asked:
What is a corneal transplant? can it restore the eye sight of a person who is partially blind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can restore: vision, but it's a big procedure and needs to be done and managed by a corneal specialist who's familiar with doing the procedure and management. Post transplant care is important.
