One of the most significant risks after corneal transplant surgery is the patient's body rejecting the transplanted cornea. Rejection occurs when the immune system recognizes the new tissue as foreign and attacks it. Rejection can cause the cornea to become swollen, or hazy or cause vision to blur, and the patient may experience pain or discomfort. In some cases, rejection can occur as soon as a few weeks after the surgery or as late as several years following the operation. Doctors carefully monitor signs of rejection, and if they are detected early enough, they can often reverse the rejection process using medications. Still, some patients may require another corneal transplant surgery.

Another potential complication is the formation of cataracts. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that leads to blurry vision. Some patients may develop cataracts following their corneal transplant surgery as the procedure can cause the proteins in the lens to clump together and form a cloudy region. Some cataracts may not require treatment, while others will require surgery to remove them and restore vision.

Individuals who have experienced corneal transplant surgery also have a higher risk of developing glaucoma than individuals who have not undergone the procedure. Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve in the eye and can lead to vision loss. Doctors will monitor patients closely for signs of glaucoma through regular check-ups and additional testing to ensure early detection and treatment.

Scleral contact lenses are an extra-large type of rigid gas permeable lenses. Unlike traditional contacts, scleral lenses vault over the entire cornea, leaving a gap between the lens and the corneal surface. They rest on the white part of your eye (your sclera).

Their unique design makes scleral lenses among the most comfortable contacts around, providing excellent vision for people of all ages.
