Frequently Asked Questions
Vision improvement is the most common reason to perform a Corneal Transplant. the improvement in vision can be life-transforming, particularly with the latest techniques of Corneal Transplantation.
Corneal Transplantation is performed with anaesthesia, meaning the surgery itself very rarely results in pain. Major advances in Corneal Transplantation have resulted in significantly less pain after the surgery, and many patients experience very little or no pain.
At the Harley Vision, Corneal Transplantation can be offered under local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia.
Many surgeons only perform certain types of Corneal Transplants under general anaesthesia (GA). Mukhtar Bizrah is a strong advocate for use of local anaesthesia to perform Corneal Transplant surgery. This is to avoid the risks of GA, particularly in patients with other medical conditions.
The recovery time from a Corneal Transplant can range from days to months, and is very much dependent on the type of Corneal Transplant that is needed. This will be explained to you by the surgeon during your clinical consultation.
