A corneal transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that helps focus light. This surgery can improve vision, reduce pain, and enhance the appearance of the eye for those with conditions like keratoconus or corneal scarring. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the affected cornea and stitches the donor cornea in place. Recovery can take several months, and patients may need to use eye drops and attend follow-up appointments. Successful transplants can significantly improve quality of life for many individuals.
