Cornea Transplant
A cornea transplant (keratoplasty) is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. Your cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of your eye that accounts for a large part of your eye's focusing power.
A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea.
Most cornea transplant procedures are successful.

Why it's done
A cornea transplant is most often used to restore vision to a person who has a damaged cornea. A cornea transplant may also relieve pain or other signs and symptoms associated with diseases of the cornea.
A number of conditions can be treated with a cornea transplant, including:
* A cornea that bulges outward (keratoconus)
* Fuchs' dystrophy
* Thinning of the cornea
* Cornea scarring, caused by infection or injury
* Clouding of the cornea
* Swelling of the cornea
* Corneal ulcers, including those caused by infection
