What is cornea transplant?
A cornea transplant (keratoplasty) is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with healthy corneal tissue from a donor. Your cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of your eye that accounts for a large part of your eye’s focusing power. A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. Most cornea transplant procedures especially in Iran are successful. There are two main types of cornea transplants: traditional, full-thickness cornea transplant (also known as penetrating keratoplasty, or PK) and back layer cornea transplant (also known as endothelial keratoplasty, or EK).
Cornea Transplant
The cornea is the eye’s outermost layer. It is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye and it helps direct light rays towards the lens for focusing. Unlike most tissues in the body, the cornea contains no blood vessels to nourish or protect it against infection. The cornea must remain transparent to see well, and the presence of even the tiniest abnormal blood vessels can affect vision.
Why cornea transplant is performed?
A cornea transplant is most often used to restore vision to a person who has a damaged cornea due to some disease or trauma. A healthy, clear cornea is essential for good vision. If your cornea is damaged due to eye disease or eye injury, it can become swollen, scarred, or severely misshapen and distort your vision. A corneal transplant might be required in cases of conditions such as Trichiasis, where eyelashes turn inward and rub against the surface of the eye, causing scarring and vision loss. A cornea transplant may be necessary if eyeglasses or contact lenses can’t restore your functional vision or if painful swelling can’t be relieved by medications or special contact lenses. The depth of cornea damage determines the type of cornea transplant.
Preparation before cornea transplant surgery
Before cornea transplant surgery, your eye doctor looks for conditions by some to determine what size of the donor cornea is right for you. A review of all medications and supplements you’re taking must be done and you may be asked to stop taking certain medications or supplements before or after your cornea transplant. Any eye problems, such as infection or inflammation must be treated because they may reduce your chances of a successful cornea transplant.
After cornea transplant surgery
Most people have to stay in the hospital for a night or two after a full-thickness cornea transplant. You may be able to go home the same day if you have a partial-thickness transplant. Your eye may be covered with an eye pad or plastic shield, which is removed the day after the procedure. When it’s taken away, you may find that your sight is blurred. This is normal. There should not be serious pain after the operation, but there might be some swelling and discomfort. An eye patch may protect your eye from injury. Once the outer layer of your cornea has healed — about 12 weeks after surgery — your vision will be as normal.
