Corneal suturing is a technique used to repair the cornea after injury, disease, or surgical procedures like corneal transplant. The procedure involves stitching the corneal tissue together to restore its integrity, shape, and function.
Corneal suturing is often performed in cases of corneal lacerations, perforations, or after corneal transplant surgery. The sutures help promote healing, prevent infection, and restore normal vision. After suturing, the eye is closely monitored, and the sutures are often removed after a few months as healing progresses.
This technique helps improve visual outcomes and ensures the cornea heals properly to restore eye function.
