Cornea Transplant
Cornea Transplant Services at MediGlobal
A cornea transplant is a surgery where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with a healthy one from a donor. When the cornea becomes unhealthy, it may block or distort light from entering the eye properly, which can lead to blurry or unclear vision. A transplant helps in restoring clear and normal vision.
Who Needs a Corneal Transplant?
This surgery can help people with different eye problems such as:
Scars or white spots on the cornea due to infections like eye ulcers, herpes, or past eye injuries
Keratoconus and other conditions that cause the cornea to become thin or misshaped
Swelling of the cornea (Bullous Keratopathy) after previous surgeries or trauma
Vision problems caused by complications from laser eye surgeries
Cornea damage from chemical burns or injuries to the eye

The Procedure
When a corneal transplant is needed, the patient’s name is registered at an authorized eye transplant center. The Eye Bank collects eyes from donors and carefully prepares the healthy cornea for transplant. Each donated tissue is checked for clarity and thoroughly tested to make sure it is free from infections or diseases like hepatitis, syphilis, or HIV. This is done to ensure complete safety for the patient receiving the cornea. The surgery is usually done under local anesthesia and takes around 1 to 2 hours. Most of the time, it is a daycare procedure, and the patient can go home the same day.
Recovery After Surgery
After the surgery, vision may be blurry in the beginning, but it will slowly get better over the next few months — sometimes up to a year. For the first few weeks, the patient should avoid heavy lifting or intense physical activity. However, normal daily tasks and office work can usually be resumed within 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery.
