Frequent: Corneal transplantation, the replacement of a damaged cornea with a clear one from a donor eye, is a frequently performed procedure - about 20-30, 000 in the usa per year. The healing is prlonged and frequent visits to the surgeon are mandatory during that period. Your transplant surgeon can inform you of your risks and prognosis.
