Corneal transplant status - what does this mean
Corneal transplant status is the condition of a person who has had a corneal transplant, which is a procedure in which a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea from a donor. the donor cornea is surgically attached to the patient's eye, and the patient's own cornea is removed. the success of the transplant is monitored over time to ensure that the donor cornea is healthy and functioning properly.
What happens during the disease - corneal transplant status
Corneal transplant status is a condition in which the cornea of the eye has been replaced with a donor cornea. this typically occurs when the patient's cornea has become damaged or diseased beyond repair, and a transplant is necessary to restore vision. the transplant process involves the removal of the damaged cornea and the placement of the donor cornea. the body's immune system may reject the donor cornea, resulting in inflammation, scarring, and potential loss of vision.
