It works by helping light focus on the retina, forming images which are processed and sent to the brain. If the cornea gets injured or damaged, and if other modes of treatment prove ineffective, a transplant may be the only viable option to prevent visual impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A corneal transplant is performed by replacing the damaged cornea with a healthy one from a deceased donor.

The healthy tissue comes from a deceased donor, given that living people can\u2019t donate their corneas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A corneal transplant helps improve visual clarity and restore vision, serving as an effective solution for people suffering from severe visual impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Is_a_Corneal_Transplant_Required\"><\/span>When Is a Corneal Transplant Required?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some conditions that make a corneal transplant absolutely necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keratoconus\"><\/span>Keratoconus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/what-is-keratoconus-symptoms-risks-modern-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keratoconus<\/a> is an eye condition where the cornea becomes too thin and weak, and the eye bulges out in a cone-like shape. This causes visual impairment that is difficult to correct with specs or contact lenses if the condition has progressed. In advanced stages of keratoconus, only a corneal transplant can help facilitate better vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corneal_Scarring\"><\/span>Corneal Scarring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve suffered an eye injury or infection, your cornea can get scarred. A corneal scar essentially blocks light from correctly entering the eye, causing vision to be blurred. In cases of extreme scarring, only a corneal transplant can help replace the damaged tissue with healthy tissue to facilitate clear vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Severe_Eye_Infections\"><\/span>Severe Eye Infections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Severe <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/corneal-infections-causes-symptoms-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">corneal infections<\/a>, including viral, bacterial, or fungal keratitis, can seriously damage the cornea.

Complete recovery can even take as long as one year. Here are a few recovery guidelines to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow the prescribed eye drop routine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not touch or rub your eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear protective eyewear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Schedule regular follow-up sessions with your doctor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat a well-balanced diet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give ample rest to your eyes\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you experience any pain, redness, or a decline in vision, seek immediate medical help<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Visit_a_Doctor\"><\/span>When to Visit a Doctor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience visual difficulties or symptoms associated with any of the above-mentioned eye conditions, you must seek immediate medical help. A specialist can diagnose the condition and advise on the appropriate course of treatment for you. Once your doctor determines that a corneal transplant may be necessary, you might be put on a waiting list.
