Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Bhavnagar​

Cornea transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one. The healthy cornea is usually donated by a deceased person.

Cornea transplantation is usually done to improve vision. It can also be done to relieve pain or protect the eye from further damage.The success rate of cornea transplantation is high. However, there is a risk of rejection of the transplanted cornea. Rejection occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the transplanted tissue.

Cornea transplantation is performed in Bhavnagar by Dr. Shweta Jain. She is a highly skilled and experienced ophthalmologist who has performed many successful cornea transplants.
