Corneal transplantation can restore vision

If you have poor vision associated with keratoconus, Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy, trauma, infection or corneal dystrophy you may benefit from a corneal transplant to restore your vision. Artificial corneas/implants and human tissue transplants are available to treat all types of corneal disorders. Advanced surgical techniques can be used in many cases to replace only the defective layer of the cornea rather than the entire cornea. This minimally invasive strategy is designed to speed recovery and improve outcomes.
