Corneal Transplant in Iran
Corneal Transplant Surgery Package

Corneal Transplant Surgical Procedure
Before corneal transplant surgery, some necessary pre-operative tests and eye examinations should be carried out. Usually, before the patient is hospitalized, the hospital communicates with the Eye Bank to reserve the cornea, but anyway, on the day of surgery, the suitable cornea for the corneal transplantation may not be available in the Eye Bank, and as a result, surgery is postponed to another day. The surgery is done under general anesthesia.
