Cornea Re-Transplantation

Cornea Re-Transplantation

My mom has undergone cornea transplantation 2 times in right eye. she was having cataract in both the eyes previously before going for the cornea transplantation. After the cataract operation she suddenly experienced a faal in eyesight and undergone a cornea transplant in 2005. It worked for 1.5 yrs then suddently got rejected. Again after 6 mths she went for re-transplantation, which didn't work for long. Now she can't see properly her both the eye have the same coenea problem. Her left eye has a cataract too.
  Now she claims that she is seeing redness but not able to judge the things.

Please suggest me what she could go for, what could be the best teatement for her so that she can see again.

She needs to see the best cornea surgeon that she can get to on a regular basis. One way or the other the cornea must be replaced. The cataract will need to be dealt with also. You should find out the name of the cornea disease she has because some are hereditary.  The most common cause of this is Fuch's endothelial cornea dystrophy.
