Description

In Keratoconus (KC), a corneal transplant is warranted when the cornea becomes dangerously thin or when sufficient visual acuity to meet the individual’s needs can no longer be achieved by contact lenses due to steepening of the cornea, scaring or lens intolerance. This article discusses cornea transplant and what to expect, transplant terms, and vision after a corneal transplant.
