Description of Corneal Transplant:

What is Corneal Transplant?
A corneal transplant is a procedure to replace a damaged cornea with either an entire donated cornea, donated corneal tissue or part of a donated cornea. A corneal transplant is carried out to improve sight or relieve pain.

About Corneal Transplant

Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.

Duration of surgery/treatment
The corneal transplant procedure takes between 1 and 2 hours.
Days admitted
None. The corneal transplant usually takes place on an outpatient basis.
Anesthesia
Corneal transplant is most commonly carried out under local anesthesia.
Recovery
Recovery time depends on the type of surgery. - It can take up to two years for the eye to fully stabilize and vision to settle down after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). - Full visual recovery takes up to three months after a DSEK procedure. - You can usually return to work two to three weeks after the corneal transplant. - The stitches holding the corneal transplant are left in place for one to three years in order for the cornea to heal into place.
Risks
Corneal transplant is relatively safe but there is a small risk of serious complications. Risks include: - Infection (the cornea is slow-healing and is at risk of infection during this time). - Cornea graft failure (according to the UK National Health Service retinal detachment occurs in around one percent of corneal transplant patients). - Rejection of the donor cornea (according to the UK National Health Service, one in five corneal transplants will be rejected or partially rejected). - Decreased or blurred vision. - Glaucoma.
After care
- Wear an eye patch at night for one to four days following a corneal transplant. - Use medicated eye drops to prevent infection. - Avoid rubbing your eyes. - Avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks following a corneal transplant and don’t take part in contact sports. - Wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from glare. - Attend follow-up eye exams.
