Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Diseases affecting the cornea are a major cause of blindness all over the world, second only to cataract in overall importance. The prevalence of corneal diseases varies from country to country and even from one population to another, depending on many factors such as the availability and general standards of eye care. In India, there are approximately 6.8 million people who have corneal blindness with vision less than 6/60 in at least one eye, and of these, about 1 million have bilateral corneal blindness(1,2) Of all the organ transplants, cornel transplantation is unique as it is easy to harvest from the donor, can be done anywhere and does not require specialized facilities such as sterile theatre and equipment needed is minimal. Advances in ophthalmology as improved surgical techniques, operating with microscopes, improved sutures and advances in eye banking have increased.
