Corneal Opacity

Hello,

Would corneal transplant help to restore vision in a long time "corneal opacity case"?Vision is not very poor in the affected eye.

a corneal transplant is a big operation and is not being done nearly as much now because smaller safer alternatives such as DSEAK is available. However even these new procedures would not likely be done if vision is reasonably good.

See a corneal specialist for an evaluation.
