Corneal transplantation, otherwise called corneal joining, is where a harmed or unhealthy cornea is supplanted by gave corneal tissue. At the point when the whole cornea is supplanted it is known as infiltrating keratoplasty and when just piece of the cornea is supplanted it is known as lamellar keratoplasty.

A cornea transplant replaces infected or scarred corneal tissue with solid tissue from an organ giver. There are two principle sorts of corneal transplants: customary, full thickness cornea transplant (otherwise called infiltrating keratoplasty, or PK) and back layer cornea transplant (otherwise called endothelial keratoplasty, or EK).  A unite replaces focal corneal tissue, harmed because of illness or eye injury, with solid corneal tissue gave from a nearby eye bank. An unfortunate cornea influences your vision by dispersing or misshaping light and causing glare and obscured vision. A cornea transplant might be important to re-establish your useful vision. Corneal eye sickness is the fourth most normal reason for visual deficiency (after waterfalls, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration) and influences in excess of 10 million individuals around the world. In excess of 47,000 corneal transplants will be acted in the United States in 2013, as indicated by an estimation by the Eye Bank Association of America. Since 1961, more than one million individuals have had their sight re-established with a cornea transplant.
