What is Corneal Transplant?

Cornea has a crucial role in vision. It is the first layer through which the light entering our eyes passes. But in case of severe eye problems, like whitening of cornea or scarring due to some infection or injury etc, our vision can get adversely affected. But even in this situation there is not any thing to worry as it is possible to treat such problems easily through Corneal transplant. 



In this procedure, an eye surgeon replaces a portion of your Cornea with a new section from a donor. After completion of the transplant surgery, the patient recovers his vision and soon is able to live a normal healthy life. Only hindrance and a big one is to find a donor.
