A member asked:
If i were to get a corneal transplant would i be able to put a contact on that eye and have 20/20 vision?

Corneal transplant: This would be for keratoconus! the answer is yes but recovery from transplant is 3-6 months to get to the vision desired.

Don't get hopes up: Usually patients with corneal transplants do not see 20/20. First of all, recovery time is long. Secondly, stitches are usually left on the eye making contact lens fitting hard. I think you are going in with high expectations and need to think about meeting with your doctor about realistic goals and expectations.
