faqs
Penetrating keratoplasty (full-thickness cornea transplantation), DSEK and DMEK (partial thickness cornea transplantation of the innermost layer of the cornea)
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and UV light (370nm) are applied to the cornea to help stiffen the collagen and slow or stop the progression of abnormal cornea steepening.
No, cornea transplantation does not require a matched donor.
This varies based on the type of transplant undertaken and the individual patient. Time can range from very quickly(weeks) for thinner transplants (DMEK) to a year for full-thickness transplantation.
Yes, contact lenses can be worn, but only after being given the okay by your transplant surgeon.
No, having a cornea transplant does not change your eye color. The eye color is determined by the color of the iris.
