Description:

The Corneal Transplantation Treatment Package is designed for individuals suffering from severe corneal damage, disease, or scarring that significantly impairs vision. Corneal transplantation involves replacing a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy donor tissue, restoring clear vision and improving overall eye health.

During the initial consultation, the ophthalmologist will assess the patient’s eye health, conduct a thorough examination, and discuss the potential benefits and risks of the procedure. The surgery can be performed in several ways:

Full Thickness Transplant (Penetrating Keratoplasty): The entire cornea is replaced with a donor cornea.
Partial Thickness Transplant (Lamellar Keratoplasty): Only the affected layers of the cornea are replaced, preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
The goal of corneal transplantation is to provide improved vision, relieve pain, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with corneal conditions.
