A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a delicate eye surgery in which a damaged or diseased cornea is partially or completely replaced with healthy donor tissue. The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye that helps focus light for clear vision. When this surface becomes scarred, swollen, or irregular, it leads to blurry or distorted vision and may even result in blindness.
MedEase Health provides access to leading ophthalmologists, cutting-edge infrastructure, and accredited hospitals across India for safe, effective, and affordable corneal transplant surgery. From your first consultation to full post-surgery rehabilitation, MedEase ensures end-to-end support and care.
You may require a cornea transplant in India if you suffer from any of the following conditions:
Keratoconus – Thinning and bulging of the cornea into a cone shape
Corneal scarring due to trauma, injury, or infections like herpes
Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy – A genetic disorder causing corneal swelling
Corneal ulcers or chronic inflammation
Failed previous corneal transplant
Post-surgical complications affecting corneal clarity
Congenital corneal opacities in children
Corneal transplantation restores sight, reduces pain, and improves the appearance of a diseased cornea.
There are several types of corneal transplant procedures, each tailored to the severity and location of the damage. At MedEase, the ophthalmic surgeon selects the most appropriate technique based on detailed evaluation.
A full-thickness transplant replacing all layers of the cornea.
Recommended for advanced scarring or damage across all corneal layers.
Preserves the inner endothelial layer and replaces only the outer corneal layers.
Suitable for keratoconus or surface scars with healthy endothelium.
Replaces only the innermost endothelial layer.
Ideal for Fuchs’ dystrophy or corneal edema.
Offers faster recovery, fewer sutures, and better outcomes.
Our surgical teams are trained in all advanced corneal transplantation methods, ensuring precision and personalized care.
Comprehensive eye examination
Corneal topography and thickness analysis
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Medical clearance and donor matching
Conducted under local or general anesthesia
Diseased corneal tissue removed with precision tools
Donor graft is shaped and stitched into place using micro-sutures
Surgery duration: Approximately 60–120 minutes
Hospitalization is usually for 1 day; patients can return home the next day
Recovery from cornea transplant surgery involves several follow-ups and careful post-operative care:
Eye patch worn for the first 24 hours
Medicated eye drops (steroids, antibiotics, lubricants) prescribed for weeks to months
Vision correction with glasses or contact lenses may be required
Sutures may remain in the eye for several months and are removed gradually
Initial healing: 1–2 weeks
Vision improvement: 4–8 weeks
Full visual rehabilitation: 3 to 6 months
Speech and visual therapy support is offered post-operatively when needed.
The cost of a cornea transplant in India ranges between ₹60,000 to ₹1,20,000, based on:
Type of transplant procedure (PK, DALK, DMEK, DSEK)
Surgeon’s experience and specialization
Hospital infrastructure and city location
Cost of donor tissue and medications
Length and quality of post-operative care
MedEase Health provides:
✅ Transparent pricing with no hidden costs

✅ Support for private insurance and government schemes (like NPCBVI, CGHS, etc.)
✅ No-Cost EMI plans for financial flexibility
While cornea transplant surgery is considered highly safe and effective, certain complications may arise:
Graft rejection (usually treatable if detected early)
Eye infection
Increased intraocular pressure (glaucoma)
Irregular astigmatism or blurry vision
Prolonged healing in some individuals
Our network of ophthalmologists follow USFDA-approved protocols, use the latest techniques, and provide close follow-up to minimize these risks.
