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.

....................................

N.B: In Egypt we depend on the imported cornea from the USA mostly as corneal eye bank still form a debate. Hoping that this problem is solved as soon as possible as keratoplasty is an easy operation which can help many patients in Egypt to regain their vision.
