Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Gwalior​

A cornea transplant also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped outer surface of the eye. It is responsible for focusing light onto the retina, which converts it into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain and interpreted as images.

Cornea transplants are performed to treat a variety of conditions that cause vision loss, including Corneal scarring, Corneal edema, Keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy 

Mantracare Gwalior offers state-of-the-art facilities for cornea transplantation. Our team of experienced ophthalmologists has performed hundreds of successful transplants. We use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
