At Holly Springs Eye & Laser, corneal transplant surgery is provided with the expertise of Dr. Faraaz Khan, a renowned board-certified and fellowship-trained cornea specialist. This procedure can restore clearer vision and greater comfort when the cornea becomes too damaged or cloudy to function well on its own.

When the cornea becomes damaged, scarred, or swollen, changes in clarity or shape can lead to discomfort, increased infection risk, or reduced vision. In these situations, a corneal transplant may be considered to help restore function and improve visual clarity.
