Q.

Keratoplasty or eye transplant

Hi, I am Digvijay age 26 yrs from India, 2 yrs back I came to know that I have AMBLYOPIA in my left eye. I had consult some of the eye specialist about its treatment. Now I just want to know about the possibility of curing by transplant? And how safe is it, if possible?

A.

There is currently no such thing as an eye transplant and I think what you are referring to is a corneal transplant. A corneal transplant is not something that is used to treat a lazy eye. Laser eye surgery can generally not treat lazy eyes although there are some exceptions. You can read our guide on Laser eye surgery and Lazy eyes for more information.
