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.
