Basic Overview of Corneal Transplant

A corneal transplant is a surgery where a damaged or cloudy cornea is replaced with a healthy donor cornea. It helps restore clear vision when the cornea can no longer focus light properly. The procedure improves eyesight and reduces discomfort caused by corneal disease or injury.

Step-by-Step Ophthalmic Transplant Procedure

During a corneal transplant, surgeons carefully remove the damaged portion of the cornea using micro-instruments and ophthalmic trephines. A donor corneal graft is then shaped and positioned precisely to fit the patient’s eye. Throughout the procedure, Nivda ophthalmic drapes, reinforced surgical gowns, and eye-hole drape sheets ensure a sterile and stable operating field. These disposables prevent contamination, help manage fluid drainage, and allow clear visibility for the surgical team. Instrument table covers and Nivda mayo covers keep delicate ophthalmic tools arranged safely for quick access. After the new cornea is fixed in place with fine sutures, the eye is cleaned, protected, and prepared for recovery.
