Corneal Transplantation


The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye It is a fibrelike structure with five layers The cornea is dense and even in thickness It projects like a dome beyond the white of the eye sclera The amount of curve varies in different persons and it can also change since the cornea tends to flatten with age Corneal transplantation is the partial or total replacement of the cornea from one human to another Here the stitches around the replacement cornea can be clearly seen
