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.

Corneal Transplant surgery can help in restoring vision in various Corneal diseases, leading to a remarkable improvement in vision. Just look for the best Corneal Transplant surgery clinic in the UK, London, to be under the care of a highly experienced corneal surgeon.

With Corneal Transplantation, the scarred or affected portion of the eye is removed surgically and a healthy donor cornea is replaced in its place.

The patient can get better vision, a better cosmetic effect, and even relief from pain with Corneal Transplantation. However, it is best to ask your Corneal surgeon in London, UK, about the why the surgery is required and what type.

during the Corneal Transplant surgery, you can expect the surgeon to anesthetise your eye either by local or general anesthesia. The surgery can be performed with or without insertion of stitches, and is becoming more minimally invasive. This whole process of Corneal Transplant surgery may seem a hassle, but with an ideal specialist clinic in London and experienced surgeon by your side, the process is less daunting than anticipated.

This is one of the most common questions asked by patients attending our Cornea Transplant surgery clinic in London. Vision can improved remarkably in a couple of days, and will take significantly longer for more complex corneal transplants, such as full thickess Corneal Transplants. The surgeon in our Corneal Transplant surgery clinic in London will advise you regarding the Do’s and Don’ts following surgery, and how to maximize the chance of speedy visual recovery.
