Corneal Graft

A corneal graft is a surgical treatment for keratoconus, keratoglobus and other corneal diseases that uses an artificial implant (keratoprosthesis) to replace the damaged or missing cornea of ​​the eye.

During the operation, the surgeon removes the damaged cornea and replaces it with an artificial implant, which is made from biocompatible materials such as silicone, hydrogel or bioresorbable collagen. The implant is installed in place of the removed cornea and fixed using special clamps.

One of the main advantages of a corneal graft is its ability to restore the shape and optical properties of the cornea. This can improve vision and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from keratoconus or other corneal diseases.

However, like any surgery, corneal transplantation may have some risks and complications. These include infectious complications, implant rejection, scar formation and others. Therefore, before performing the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and assess his state of health.

A corneal transplant is an effective treatment for many corneal diseases and can restore vision to patients who cannot receive treatment with other methods. However, as with any surgery, careful preparation must be made and an experienced surgeon must be selected to perform the corneal transplant.

Transplants are biological materials that are used in medicine to treat various diseases and injuries. One of the most common types of grafts is the cornea, which is the clear membrane that covers the surface of the eye. AND,
