Corneal Treatment
Best Corneal Treatment in Nigeria
Corneal transplantation or corneal grafting is a procedure where a damaged/diseased cornea is surgically replaced by donated corneal tissue (the graft). The graft is usually extracted from a deceased individual with no known diseases that may affect the health of the recipient.
When the cornea is injured, it becomes swollen or scarred, and with the result its clarity is lost. Scars, swelling, or an irregular shape can cause the cornea to distort light which results into blurred vision.
Generally a corneal transplant is needed in following circumstances:
- *vision correction with eyeglasses or contact lenses becomes impossible
- *swelling cannot be relieved by medications/contact lenses.
- *corneal failure occurs after any other eye surgery, eg: cataract surgery
- *due to keratoconus, a condition that causes thinning of cornea
- *there's corneal rejection after a first corneal transplant
- *scarring caused after injury
Treatment of Opaque Cornea or Corneal Blindness is possible only through Cornea Transplant. In this treatment, a healthy cornea is transplanted in place of a diseased cornea either entirely through penetrating keratoplasty or in part (lamellar keratoplasty).
