CORNEAL TRANSPLANT
Corneal grafts (transplants) generally are performed for two reasons, to restore eye integrity and to restore vision. The successful outcomes enjoyed by patients who undergo modern penetrating keratoplasty (full thickness corneal graft) and lamellar keratoplasty (partial thickness graft) are the result of advances in operating microscopes design, suture technology, surgical techniques, and corneal topography, and of the availability of carefully preserved corneal tissue.
