Post-Corneal Transplant
A cornea transplant involves replacing a diseased or scarred cornea with a new one. About 40,000 corneal transplants are performed each year, many for individuals with keratoconus.
Following corneal transplants, patients may suffer from dry eyes, poor vision, and astigmatism. More severe complications include rejection of the new cornea, which must be treated immediately by your ophthalmologist.
94% of patients with dry eye, poor vision, and/or severe astigmatism following corneal transplant surgery reported that their eye health, vision, and quality of life improved with PROSE treatment by BostonSight.
Figures are based on respondents to a 2024 BostonSight survey of 2000 PROSE patients.
