CORNEAL TRANSPLANT

This is what a cornea looks like after a cornea transplant.  Best visual acuity is usually around 20/50 after a transplant with a significant amount of astigmatism.  Transplants can become necessary if the cornea is scarred, or is shaped incorrectly, or has opacities or irregularities from genetic corneal diseases.
