The cornea, the transparent dome of the eye, captures light and directs it to the retina. Its rigid, porthole-like structure protects it from external aggressions while providing clear vision.
Unfortunately, the cornea can be affected by various pathologies that alter its transparency and lead to reduced vision or even blindness. In some cases, a corneal transplant is required to restore vision.

Keratoplasty, or corneal transplantation, is a surgical procedure indicated for loss of corneal transparency due to a variety of pathologies. By replacing diseased corneal tissue with a graft, this procedure restores visual function and significantly improves the patient's quality of life.
Turkish ophthalmology centers offer recognized expertise in this field, providing advanced surgical techniques and personalized post-operative care.
A damaged cornea can lead to a variety of visual problems. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should see an eye care professional:
Although these symptoms can be signs of other eye problems, your ophthalmologist can determine whether keratoplasty is needed to restore your vision.
Eye diseases can cause irreversible damage to the cornea, severely affecting vision. In such cases, corneal transplantation in Turkey may be the most appropriate therapeutic solution.
Eye diseases that sometimes require corneal transplantation include
Corneal transplantation is a meticulous surgical procedure performed under a microscope in a sterile environment. The patient lies on his or her back under local or general anesthesia.
During the surgery, the damaged cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea from a donor. Depending on the extent of the damage, the surgeon may replace the entire cornea (penetrating keratoplasty) or only part of the cornea (lamellar keratoplasty).
In some cases, corneal transplantation may be combined with other eye procedures, such as cataract or glaucoma surgery.
The hospital stay is usually 2 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's response.
During the first few days after keratoplasty, it's common to experience redness, eye irritation, and sensitivity to light. These symptoms, which are usually mild, can be relieved with pain medication prescribed by your ophthalmologist.
A head-up position is recommended for a few days for endothelial grafts to promote healing.
A follow-up visit is scheduled 24 to 48 hours after surgery. Your surgeon will evaluate the condition of your eye and adjust your treatment with eye drops and ointments as needed. This local care is essential for optimal healing and gradual visual recovery.
Postoperative care varies depending on the surgical technique used. Sutures, if any, will be removed by your surgeon.
Immediately after surgery, your eye will be protected with a bandage. For the first few days, it is recommended that you wear an eye patch while sleeping and washing to prevent accidental rubbing.
Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions on activities to avoid, promoting optimal healing. It is often necessary to wear protective glasses for a period of time.
During your recovery, you must not rub or press on the operated eye, as this could affect the outcome of the surgery.

Good to know: Although corneal transplants are often covered by insurance, please check the terms of your policy.
Corneal transplants are indicated in the following cases:
Keratoplasty can be done at any age, up to the age of 90.
The return of vision would be a few days after the operation. However, the sharpness of vision would be achieved very gradually. As for precise and final visual acuity, it would be obtained after six to twelve postoperative months.
The success rate of cornea transplant in Turkey is 90%.
