Corneal Transplants
Corneal Transplants: There are several different reasons for requiring a corneal transplant. Some of the more common are as follows:
- Keratoconus – a disease where the central cornea thins and bulges forward.
- Fuch’s Dystrophy – an hereditary disease in which the cells that maintain corneal clarity are gradually lost.
- Aphakic and Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy – conditions where the cells that maintain corneal clarity are damaged as a result of cataract surgery.
- Chemical/Physical injuries to the cornea.
