Recovery and Post-Surgery Care

The recovery time for corneal transplant surgery depends on the type of procedure performed. For full-thickness transplants, it may take up to 18 months to achieve full recovery. During this period, patients may need to use corrective lenses or glasses for optimal vision. Partial-thickness transplants typically result in quicker recovery, often within a few weeks.

During recovery, patients should take the following precautions:

• 
  Avoid rubbing the eyes
• 
  Refrain from swimming and participating in contact sports
• 
  Protect the eyes from bright lights and extreme temperatures

Risk Factors

Like any surgery, corneal transplant carries certain risks, including:

• 
  Rejection of the transplanted cornea (which affects around 1 in 3 patients)
• 
  Glaucoma or cataracts
• 
  Bleeding
• 
  Eye infections
• 
  Temporary vision loss
• 
  Swelling of the transplanted cornea
