Does a Cornea Transplant Change Eye Color?

Published in Medical 1 min read

No, a cornea transplant does not change your eye color.

The cornea is the clear, outer layer of the eye that helps focus light. It does not contain pigment, which is what determines eye color.
The iris, which is the colored part of the eye, is located behind the cornea. A cornea transplant only replaces the cornea, not the iris.

Therefore, a cornea transplant will not affect your eye color.
