Clearly KC host Dr. Melissa Barnett OD and Dr. Jennifer Li MD, professor of ophthalmology from Univ. of California-Davis, and chair of the Eye Bank Association of America, discuss how corneal transplantation is undergoing changes with advances in surgical techniques. Dr. Li relayed how cornea tissue is prepared and sent to surgeons within days of a donor’s death for implantation. She reported that those who have undergone transplant for advanced keratoconus can expect to have many years with healthy transplanted tissue and noted the number of corneal transplants for keratoconus has dropped significantly since treatment options like corneal crosslinking and scleral lenses have become more commonplace.
