The cornea is a curved and transparent lens that protects our windows from the world from possible external damages, focuses the light, and plays a vital role in healthy vision. Suppose your cornea fails due to an injury or diseases such as keratoconus or bullous keratopathy. In that case, as Istanbul Med Assist, we provide cornea transplantation from deceased donors to correct your eyesight. We work with eye doctors who are highly experienced and equipped with the best technology, including every device and instrument for your specific surgery requirement.
Istanbul Med Assist offers an exceptional opportunity for those needing cornea transplantation. These procedures are cost-effective and reliable, ensuring a favourable outcome.
Cornea transplantation is a surgical procedure performed by ophthalmologists and eye specialists to remove the injured or diseased part of your cornea tissue and replace it with healthy tissue from a donor. The procedure is also called keratoplasty and can be performed on just a part of the cornea, or all cornea tissue could be replaced depending on the patient’s state. After the surgery, your vision will be restored, but you must remember that every patient is different. Your eyesight may improve in weeks or a year, depending entirely on your unique situation, and sometimes you may feel like your vision got worse just before it got better. Doctors will apply a local anaesthetic before surgery to numb your eye so you will be awake during surgery, but there won’t be any pain.
During cornea transplantation, doctors will:
- Apply local anesthesia
- Cut the full thickness of the damaged or diseased cornea
- Replace the front and back layers of the cornea with healthy tissue
In most cases, the operation takes less than 1 hour. Given your circumstances, you can leave the hospital on the day of your surgery or spend the night.
