Corneal Transplant Programme
Overview
The cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina for clear vision. When the cornea becomes damaged or diseased, vision can be severely impaired. The AKUH Corneal Transplant Programme offers advanced surgical techniques and comprehensive care to restore sight and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from corneal blindness.
