When Should I Go To Ophthalmologist..!
How To Care About My Contact Lenses..!
A corneal transplant can be repeated, usually
with good results, but the overall rejection rates
for repeated transplants are higher than for
the first transplant.
Irregular curvature of the transplanted cornea
(astigmatism) may slow the return of vision but
can also be treated. Vision may continue to
improve up to a year after surgery.
Even if the surgery is successful, other existing
eye conditions, such as macular degeneration
(aging of the retina), glaucoma or diabetic
retinopathy, may limit vision after surgery. Even
with such problems, a corneal transplant may
still be worthwhile.
A successful corneal transplant requires care
and attention on the part of both patient and
physician. However, no other surgery has so
much to offer when the unhealthy cornea is deeply scarred or
swollen.
Corneal transplant surgery would not be possible
without the thousands of generous donors
and their families who have donated corneal
tissue so that others may see.
