Dr. Ebbie Soroudi prioritizes early intervention whenever possible to help patients avoid the need for corneal transplantation. In some cases, however, corneal disease or damage has progressed to a point where transplantation becomes the only viable solution. When the cornea is permanently scarred or structurally compromised, surgical replacement may be necessary to restore vision.

Full-thickness corneal transplant

Soroudi Advanced LASIK and Eye Centers performs full-thickness corneal transplantation, also known as penetrating keratoplasty. This procedure involves removing the damaged portion of the cornea and replacing it with healthy donated human tissue. Because the cornea consists of five distinct layers, this technique replaces the entire corneal structure when all layers are affected.

Candidates for corneal transplantation

Several conditions may make corneal transplantation the appropriate treatment option. Patients with significant vision loss due to corneal scarring, infection, disease, or structural deformity may benefit from this procedure. When the cornea becomes cloudy or its shape is severely distorted, replacing all its layers may be required to improve vision.

What does the procedure involve?

During the surgery, the damaged corneal tissue is carefully removed and replaced with a healthy donor cornea. The new tissue is secured with extremely fine nylon sutures, thinner than a strand of hair. The procedure typically takes about one hour and is performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation to ensure comfort.

Trusted care in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles

Vision plays a vital role in daily life. When corneal damage caused by injury or disease can no longer be addressed with less invasive treatments, it is important to seek care from an experienced eye surgeon. Patients who require corneal transplantation benefit from the expertise and precision offered at Soroudi Advanced LASIK and Eye Centers.

Improving vision and quality of life

Dr Soroudi performs full-thickness corneal transplantation for patients experiencing advanced vision loss due to severe corneal damage. Many transplant patients experience significant visual improvement after recovery, with some achieving vision levels that allow them to perform daily activities with little or no dependence on corrective lenses.

Advanced in-house surgical facilities

FOR CORNEAL TRANSPLANT SURGERY

Dr Soroudi is a board-certified ophthalmologist and oculoplastic specialist with extensive knowledge of ocular anatomy and surgical care. His patients include individuals from around the world who seek his expertise for complex eye conditions. Each of his three locations is equipped with modern surgical suites and advanced ophthalmic technology, providing personalized care in a secure, comfortable environment.

Recovery after corneal transplantation

Following surgery, it is common to experience mild irritation or a scratchy sensation in the eye, which typically resolves within two weeks. Vision will be blurry at first and may take several months to stabilize as the transplanted tissue heals.

Once healing is complete, additional vision correction with glasses or contact lenses may be recommended. Although recovery from corneal transplantation requires patience, the long-term benefit is the opportunity to regain healthier vision and improve overall quality of life.
