Cornea Procedures

The cornea is the clear surface at the front of your eye that is used for focusing. If the cornea is damaged by trauma, infection, or disease, it may become swollen or scarred. This can result in significant vision loss and pain. Several conditions may require a corneal transplant. You and your ophthalmologist can decide what is best for your situation. Corneal transplants are the most commonly performed transplant surgery and have an excellent success rate.

What Can I Expect?

The surgery will be performed on an outpatient basis. Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia may be used depending on your age and medical condition. During this procedure, the damaged portion of the cornea will be carefully removed and then replaced with the new donated cornea.

Advancements in modern corneal transplant surgery allow for the transplantation of certain layers of the cornea resulting in faster recovery and improved vision. At Excel Eye Center, we offer the most advanced diagnostic and surgical techniques available.
