Corneal transplantation is a specialized procedure where Dr. Manusis replaces a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy donor tissue. This surgery is essential for patients with severe corneal conditions, as it can restore clarity, alleviate discomfort, and significantly improve vision. Dr. Manusis uses the latest surgical methods to maximize the success of the transplant and the quality of results.
Who is Corneal Transplantation for?
This procedure is ideal for patients with conditions such as keratoconus, corneal scarring, or other advanced corneal diseases that impair vision and cannot be corrected with glasses or contacts. It is recommended for individuals whose corneal damage impacts daily activities and overall quality of life.
What to Expect
Dr. Manusis conducts an in-depth consultation to determine the most suitable type of transplant (full or partial thickness) based on the patient’s unique condition. The surgery itself is precise, aiming for minimal discomfort. Recovery includes several follow-up visits, and Dr. Manusis provides guidance on post-surgical care to ensure the best results.
