This varies from patient to patient, contingent upon the surgical technique employed to execute the procedure and achievable pre-operative vision. The new femtosecond laser technique (IEK), offers most patients the ability to achieve vision for limited function, without contacts or glasses, within 2 to 3 weeks. At 6 to 7 months after surgery, when some […]
Corneal rejection is uncommon. Rarely, a loss of transparency occurs due to rejection or repeated eye surgeries. If this occurs, another procedure may be performed at the discretion of your surgeon. Most corneal transplants last well beyond 10 years. Corneal transplant patients require bi-annual ophthalmic checkups to ensure optimal eye health.
Transplants may be performed to restore vision by replacing scarred, diseased or physically distorted corneal tissue with clear, non-distorted healthy tissue. Often times, these are typically caused by Keratoconus, trauma or infections.
A corneal transplant is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of your eye. This surface is responsible for focusing light much like the lens of a camera. The cornea must be clear and regular because it accounts for a […]
Cornea, is the clear front surface of the eye which allows light to enter the eye. Vision could be markedly reduced or lost if the cornea becomes cloudy or scarred. This is known as corneal blindness.
During infection your cornea( transparent part in front ) is affected which makes you more sensitive to bright light .it will be difficult for you to face bright light especially while driving .Its better to avoid outdoor activities or wear a sunglasses to avoid discomfort.
