Cornea transplant: The ophthalmologist that is going to do your surgery shoul give you that information prior to the surgery. The surgery is very complicated, ther is good information on the surgery online at the american academy of ophthalmology web site. Aao.Org.

See a cornea doctor: It is fairly unusual for a full corneal transplant to be necessary these days, unless you have a bad scar or keratoconus. A cornea specialist will talk to you in great detail about this surgery and the recovery.
