What is the age limit for corneal transplant?

Published in Medical Information 1 min read

There isn't a specific age limit for corneal transplant surgery. It's a procedure that can be performed on patients of all ages, from infants to seniors.

The decision to proceed with a corneal transplant is based on individual factors, including:

  • Severity of the corneal condition: The extent of the corneal damage and the potential for vision loss.
  • Overall health: The patient's general health and any other underlying medical conditions.
  • Lifestyle: The patient's daily activities and their ability to manage post-operative care.

It's important to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine if a corneal transplant is appropriate for your specific needs.
