Corneal transplant is a requisite for many disease conditions like thinning or swelling of the cornea, Fuchs dystrophy, keratoconus, and often clouding of the cornea. The corneal transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is done to remove a particular portion of the damaged tissue with healthy corneal tissue from a donor. Usually one of the organs donated by those who plan an organ donation after their death is the cornea. A fresh corneal transplant from a deceased donor is transplanted into the patient after preparing the cornea for transplant.
Nearly 270,000 donor corneas are required for carrying out 100,000 transplants, and there is virtually a 4-fold need for donor corneas every year in India alone. Generally, 50,000 INR to 100,000 INR is charged for undergoing a single eye corneal transplant.
The most common reason for a corneal transplant in younger patients is keratoconus. It impacts 1 in 3000 or 1 in 10,000 patients approximately in the population. Cornea transplant in older patients is mainly due to bullous keratopathy. Rejection of graft is indicated by blindness, redness, pain, or sensitivity to light. Ideally, two types of corneal transplants are performed in patients that include endothelial keratoplasty or anterior lamellar keratoplasty.

After the surgery, you might have to wear an eye patch for some time. You will receive several medications, and eye drops to keep the transplanted cornea from being rejected by the body. Many hospitals offer corneal transplantation; however, some of them are better than others when it comes to their success rate, and also the process of follow-up and pre and post-op care. We would recommend some hospitals below which can help attain more success with corneal transplantation than others.
