Are there eye exercises that can be helpful after undergoing an eye corneal transplant surgery?

No: No. Corneal transplants can be full thickness and involve all layers of the cornea, or partial thickness and just involve the inner layer. Eye excersizes do not influence the success of corneal transplantation. The cornea is the clear window of the eye and has no muscles in it. Some patients who have had accommodating intraocular lenses use eye excersizes to strengthen their accommodative ability.

No: There really isn't much you can do after a cornea transplant to help you to heal other than take your prescribed eye drops and wait for your eye to heal. Depending on the type of cornea transplant that you have your surgeon may ask you to limit certain exercises and activity until it is deemed safe.

No: The best thing you can do if you have undergone a corneal transplant is use your eye drops as instructed and return for to your eye surgeon for regular follow ups as scheduled. Your doctor will also give you the warning signs that you should return for an earlier follow up.

Not Usually: There are not any specific eye exercises that we recommend to aid recovery after corneal transplant surgery.

No: No. Eye exercises will not affect your healing after corneal surgery.
