The cornea serves as your eye's clear, protective front layer allowing light to enter and focus properly on the retina for clear vision. When corneal disease, degeneration, or injury creates cloudiness that interferes with essential activities like reading or driving, Pepose Vision Institute's corneal transplant specialists can restore your sight.

At Pepose Vision Institute, our expert cornea surgeons perform keratoplasty as an outpatient procedure, carefully replacing damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. This advanced surgical intervention not only restores vision but can also reduce pain and improve your eye's appearance.

What sets Pepose Vision Institute apart is our specialized expertise in corneal transplantation. Our leading cornea specialists deliver superior outcomes including faster visual recovery with minimal discomfort, reduced need for repeat procedures, lower risk of complications and transplant rejection, and optimal long-term vision results.

When corneal problems threaten your vision and quality of life, trust the proven expertise of Pepose Vision Institute's corneal transplant team. Our commitment to excellence ensures you receive the highest standard of care for this sight-restoring procedure.
