About Corneal Surgery
Corneal Surgery is a procedure designed to treat vision impairment caused by corneal damage, disease, or degeneration. It involves replacing a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, and recovery time varies based on the type of surgery and individual healing.
