A corneal transplant replaces the damaged layer of the cornea with healthy tissue to restore clear vision. It is used for advanced keratoconus or corneal scarring and injuries. Toronto Vision offers the latest partial (lamellar) transplant methods that replace only the affected layer for faster recovery.

What affects the cost

• The type of transplant (full-thickness, or partial front/back layers).
• The condition of the cornea and the extent of the damage.
• Tissue availability and post-transplant follow-up.

Is a transplant the only option?

Not always — for some keratoconus cases, corneal crosslinking or ring implantation can be done instead of a transplant. The doctor determines the best option after a careful exam.

After the transplant

A transplant needs regular follow-up over time to ensure the cornea heals and the result holds. Book a consultation to assess your case and learn the cost.
