Cornea transplants also known as a Corneal Transplant is a very common eye transplant surgery that is very successful.
There are several cornea transplants being done every month and there's usually no complications from those cornea transplant surgeries.
Around 5 out of 30 corneal transplant patients have rejection of the cornea transplant and then have some serious complications.
But most of those cornea transplants are not rejected and most people have no complications from the cornea transplant.
Eye transplants where part of the eye is transplanted are usually pretty successful.
Some people hear of eye transplants and believe that whole eyes can be transplanted from a dead body and then transplanted into a living persons eye sockets so they can see again.
But sadly a complete eye transplant surgery is not possible.
So a blind person cannot have someone's eyes transplanted from a dead body into them and then see again as that is not possible and likely never will be possible.
Only parts of the eye can be transplanted such as the Cornea.
Corneal Transplants are the most common form of eye transplant and are pretty successful.
