Corneal Graft
A corneal graft is also known as a keratoplasty.
A corneal graft is an ophthalmic surgical operation in which diseased parts of the cornea of an eye are removed and replaced by clear (transparent) corneal tissue from a donor.
There are different extents of corneal graft, depending on the initial state of the eye in need of treatment.
