A cornea transplant is an operation to replace part of the cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. This operation is sometimes called keratoplasty. The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of the eye. Light enters the eye through the cornea. It plays a large role in the eye’s ability to see clearly.
In the most favorable cases, the cornea transplant success rate can be up to 90%, with good final visual acuity with glasses.
