Cornea Transplantation

Of all the transplantation surgeries done today (including heart, lung and kidney), corneal transplantations are by far the most common -- and the most successful. In fact, ophthalmologists perform more than 40,000 corneal transplantations in the United States each year. At Loyola University Health System (Loyola), our ophthalmologists provide cornea transplantation patients with the best of care, with the full care for body, mind and spirit for which Loyola is known.

 
If you are a corneal transplant candidate, you probably have had trouble seeing for a period of time. You have likely worn glasses and/or contact lenses and used a variety of eye mediations. The information we provide here is intended to help explain what is involved in a corneal transplant, how it can help you see better and how it will affect your daily life.
