Cornea Transplant Cost In India

Average Cornea Transplant Costs in India

How the Procedure Works

1. Anesthesia – Usually local anesthesia with sedation
2. Removal of Damaged Tissue – The surgeon removes the diseased cornea layers
3. Donor Cornea Placement – Healthy donor tissue is carefully positioned
4. Suturing or Sealing – The graft is secured, often with fine stitches
5. Recovery Care – Eye shield and medication to prevent rejection

Think of it like replacing the “clear window” of your eye so the world comes into focus again.
