As an important treatment method, corneal transplantation is often used to treat corneal diseases. However, corneal transplantation is not suitable for every patient. In this article, we will introduce the scope of application of this kind of surgery from many aspects.

Types of corneal diseases

Corneal diseases refer to a kind of ophthalmic diseases that affect the structure and function of cornea, including corneal ulcer, keratitis, corneal scar, etc. For many patients with corneal diseases, corneal transplantation is an effective way to restore vision. However, not all diseases are suitable for corneal transplantation. For example, some diseases caused by corneal dryness can be improved by other treatments, so it is not suitable for corneal transplantation.

In addition, corneal transplantation is not suitable for patients with other systemic diseases or eye diseases. For example, if the patient has active eye infection, severe dry eye syndrome, glaucoma and other problems at the same time, corneal transplantation surgery may have a high risk, and the expert team needs to fully assess the patient's physical condition.

Risk and complications of corneal transplantation

Corneal transplantation is a complicated operation, which has certain risks and complications. Postoperative problems such as increased intraocular pressure, infection and rejection may occur.
