When it may be considered
- Corneal opacity or scarring that limits vision
- Advanced corneal disease not controlled with lenses or other treatment
- Careful review of eye health and follow-up ability
Visit notes
- Long-term follow-up is important after transplant surgery
- Medication use, rejection symptoms, and activity limits should be reviewed carefully
