This is a question that people who have problems in the front of the eye may ask themselves. In fact, corneal transplantation is a procedure in which a patient’s cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea from another person who has no problem, and this operation may take 1 to 2 hours. On the other hand, Iran is a great destination for health tourists with its strong medical infrastructure and very reasonable prices. In this article, we want to take a general look at the topic of corneal transplantation in Iran and become more familiar with this topic and treatment methods.
Regarding corneal transplantation methods, it can be said that corneal transplantation is usually done in two ways. These two methods can be done in the form of full-thickness corneal transplantation and layered corneal transplantation. In a full-thickness corneal transplant, the entire thickness of the affected cornea is removed and replaced with a healthy one. But in a layer corneal transplant, only the part of the defective layer that is damaged is removed and transplanted with another layer that is healthy. However, the layered corneal transplantation method is also divided into 4 methods, which are ALTK anterior layer transplantation, DALK anterior and middle layer transplantation, DMEK temporal layer transplantation and DSAEK posterior layer transplantation.

Our patients’ experience of Healtha treatment
If your cornea has been damaged or impaired in some way, you may need a corneal transplant so that you can get better vision. Common conditions which can benefit from corneal transplant include:
Corneal wounds or scarring secondary to an injury, infection, or past eye operation
Keratoconus, which causes your cornea to bulge abnormally
Thinning, swelling, and clouding of the cornea
Other inherited disorders that impact corneal integrity, including Fuchs’ corneal dystrophy
Your vision may be blurry for a period of time after surgery. For some people, it may take 6 to 12 weeks to get the full benefits of surgery and to see as clearly as possible. Your doctor will give you eyedrops to help your eye heal and prevent your body from rejecting the donor tissue.
It’s important to understand that the corneal graft will not last forever. How long it lasts depends on the reason for the transplant. For example, a transplant in a patient with keratoconus usually lasts 15 to 20 years.
Failure can occur for a number of reasons, the most common one being endothelial decompensation, either due to graft rejection or “endothelial exhaustion,” where enough of the endothelial cells die off and the cornea becomes edematous. When this occurs, the cornea becomes cloudy and vision worsens.
Eyes should be donated within 6-8 hrs of death.” Anyone can be donor, irrespective of age, sex, blood group or religion.” Anyone with cataract or spectacles can donate eyes. ” Person suffering from hypertension, diabetes can also donate eyes.”

In the following discussion of “what is corneal transplantation”, we should mention the process of corneal transplantation. Generally, tests and examinations are performed by an ophthalmologist or specialist to perform a corneal transplant. Once the transplant is approved, it is necessary to coordinate the corneal reservation for the person before the patient is admitted by the eye bank so that the proper cornea is available during the operation.
But if we want to talk about what a corneal transplant is and how it is done, it must be said that this operation is done with the help of microscopic devices with great care. In this operation, a circular piece is removed from the middle of the person’s cornea and a healthy cornea is placed similarly. The surgeon then has to sew this cornea to the patient’s eye with very fine sutures. Also, what about corneal transplantation duration? It should be said that this operation can take 1 to 2 hours and other surgeries such as cataract or glaucoma can be performed simultaneously with corneal transplantation. At the end of the operation, the eye should be bandaged.
