Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Mysore​

A cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one. The cornea is the clear, outermost layer of the eye and plays a vital role in vision. A cornea transplant can improve vision and provide relief from pain and light sensitivity caused by conditions such as advanced keratoconus, corneal scarring from infection or injury, and previously failed cornea transplants.

There are several hospitals in Mysore that offer cornea transplant surgery. The cost of the procedure varies depending on the hospital but is generally very affordable when compared to other cities in India and around the world. The success rate of cornea transplants in Mysore is high, and patients can typically expect to see an improvement in vision within a few months after surgery.
