CORNEA TRANSPLANT
Corneal Transplant
Keratoconus is a disorder of the cornea that leads to progressive changes in its shape and structure. Over time, the cornea becomes increasingly thinner and steeper. In more advanced cases, patients with keratoconus can develop central scarring of the cornea. All of these changes result in the formation of high levels of irregular astigmatism and myopia. These refractive errors become increasingly difficult to treat through non-surgical options alone, such as glasses of specialty contact lenses. In advanced cases of keratoconus corneal transplantation is routinely performed to restore one’s sight.
