Corneal transplants

Corneal transplants are performed for diseases of the cornea, which result in a loss of visual clarity not treatable by glasses or contact lenses. A three-dimensional computer imaging system is utilized to determine and analyze the health and shape of the cornea.

Conditions that may necessitate corneal transplants:

• Keratoconus (stretching of the cornea)
• Corneal scarring, such as herpetic and traumatic scarring
• Inherited corneal disorders
• Permanent corneal swelling following trauma or prior eye surgery

The Assil Eye Institute provides the most state-of-the-art technology in corneal transplantation, including post-transplant corneal laser sculpting if necessary.
