Several: The major risks of corneal transplantation include bleeding, infection or rejection. Serious complications such as these are infrequent, but do occur. There is about a 1/000 risk of a severe complication risking blindness. Transplant rejection is always a risk, but can often be treated with drops to reverse the episode. This is not a comprehensive list of all the risks. Talk to your doctor.

The main: risks are risk of rejection, infection, and need for a repeat transplant. There are different types of cornea transplants and they each have differences in their risk profiles. Good luck.
