Advanced Corneal Transplants Tailored to Your Condition
Sometimes, a keratoplasty is needed when the cornea becomes severely compromised, leading to vision impairment that cannot be corrected with other treatments. Our cornea specialists offer three types of cornea transplants to restore the health of your eyes.
The corneal transplants vary in how many layers of the cornea are removed. Let's see which type of corneal transplant is right for you:

How Can Cornea Surgery Help You?
Reduced Discomfort
Scarred, injured, or infected corneal tissue can be very painful. Corneal surgery can alleviate your symptoms by restoring or replacing any damaged areas.
Restored Appearance
Some conditions which affect the cornea, such as pterygium, are noticeable. Surgery can improve the look of your eye in these cases.
Versatile Treatment
Our doctors offer corneal surgeries to treat various disorders, including keratoconus, thinning corneas, ulcers, and more.
Clearer Eyesight
Corneal transplants and other surgeries can help patients clear their blurred vision and reduce reliance on glasses and contact lenses.
Cornea Surgery Is Commonly Performed
Cornea transplants, known as keratoplasty, are the most commonly performed and the most successful allogenic transplant (meaning they use stem cells from donor tissue) worldwide. Patients find comfort in the frequency of cornea procedures, our corneal specialists' detailed approach, and the safe, proven reputation corneal transplants and other surgeries have in restoring corneal tissue.
Although the idea of corneal surgery can be daunting, know that these procedures have been widely and safely performed for many decades. Thanks to advancements in technology and training, the treatments also have high success rates, and our team of fellowship-trained corneal specialists has helped many patients overcome corneal issues with satisfactory results.
Other Cornea Surgeries We Perform
Pterygium Removal
Excess tissue that grows out of the cornea is called "pterygium." Pterygium growths are typically caused by long-term exposure to UV light and chronic dryness or irritation, which is why it's commonly referred to as "surfer's eye." Pterygium growth can cause discomfort and affect vision if left untreated. During the pterygium procedure, your doctor will make an incision, remove the excess tissue, and may use a graft to cover the area.
Photorefractive Keratectomy
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a type of corneal surgery that uses an excimer laser to reshape the corneal tissue. It corrects refractive errors like astigmatism, which can reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses. The procedure alters the cornea's curvature by flattening or steepening the eye's surface, similar to LASIK, improving how light enters the eye and focuses on the retina.
Cornea Crosslinking
Corneal crosslinking is a procedure that treats keratoconus, a condition where the cornea becomes weak and progressively more cone-shaped, often causing astigmatism. Corneal collagen crosslinking for keratoconus doesn't remove any corneal tissue, unlike the procedures mentioned above. The goal is to prevent further progression of keratoconus by adding structural connections, known as "crosslinks," to stabilize the cornea and improve the patient's vision.
Surgical Results That Stand the Test of Time
“I had corneal transplant surgery with Dr McCall over 16 years ago and every opthamologist or optometrist I have seen since my surgery universally tells me “wow.. what an amazing job your surgeon did on your transplant.” If you need a transplant, Dr McCall should be your first choice . I am living proof that he does amazing work.”
