Corneal Graft
A corneal graft is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy tissue from a donor. The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that helps focus light. This procedure is often performed to restore vision in patients suffering from conditions like corneal scarring, keratoconus, or corneal dystrophies.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes the affected cornea and stitches the donor cornea into place. The success of a corneal graft depends on various factors, including the patient's overall health and the compatibility of the donor tissue. Post-surgery, patients may need to use eye drops and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
