That : That answer to that question depends on the problem you have with your cornea. For such a small structure in your body, your cornea is very complex. In general, is the problem with fluid in the cornea or scarring?

Depends : Depends on why someone needs a corneal transplant. Sometimes you can avoid it by using rigid gas permeable lenses or intacs corneal implants. In the future who knows what drops will be available. Seek a second opinion if you are looking for other options.
