Partial corneal transplant is a procedure where only a specific layer of the cornea is replaced with donor tissue, typically for patients with localized damage or disease. This type of transplant is used when damage to the cornea is limited to one or more layers, such as in conditions like Fuchs’ dystrophy or keratoconus.

The procedure involves removing the damaged part of the cornea and replacing it with healthy donor tissue. Since only part of the cornea is replaced, recovery time is typically shorter, and the risk of complications is reduced compared to full-thickness corneal transplants.

Partial corneal transplant offers excellent outcomes in restoring vision and improving eye health with fewer risks than traditional full-thickness corneal transplantation.
