Cornea is a very powerful refracting surface which is around 2/3^rd part of the eye. It is very essential part of the eye and is required for clear vision. It becomes a clear window to look through and its clarity is necessary for good vision. Diseases of the cornea will lead to loss of transparency, reducing the vision. The impaired functioning of the cornea can cause injury, genetic diseases, infections and malnutrition. Cornea transplant (corneal grafting) is the process by which a diseased cornea of the patient is replaced by the donated cornea graft or tissue. Types of Cornea Transplants:

The corneas used fortransplantation comes from a donor who has donate their eyes after death. The donor corneal tissue is screened for AIDS and other diseases. If found healthy, the tissue is stored in the eye bank. Any patient who is need of the donor cornea tissue can approach the eye bank and get the donor tissue for corneal transplantation. The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. In addition to this, eye drops may be administered to numb the eye during surgery. The surgeon then removes the damaged cornea tissue from your eye and places the donor tissue into place. The metal ring around the eye is removed and antibiotic eye drops are administered. Finally, the surgeon places a plastic shield over the eye to protect it from being touched or rubbed. The entire procedure takes two hours to be performed and typically, the patient goes home once the anesthesia effect wears off.
