If you are a corneal transplant candidate, you probably have had trouble seeing for a period of time. You have likely worn glasses and/or contact lenses and used a variety of eye medications. If you are interested in having a corneal transplant please discuss your options with your ophthalmologist. |

A cornea transplant will not cure a disease rather it will restore sight to one that has become blind as a result of a corneal blindness. Common causes of corneal blindness are: |
|
1. Trauma/ infection to the cornea
2. Keratoconus (cornea become cone shaped)
3. Fuch's Dystrophy
4. Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy
5. Corneal degeneration |
|
Once you and your doctor decide that cornea transplantation is the appropriate solution for you, your doctor will request tissue from the Eye Bank that specifically fits your surgery needs. |
