Who Performs Cornea Transplant Procedures?
A cornea transplant procedure is performed by a certified ophthalmologist, who should have ample experience with a multitude of corneal transplant procedures and techniques. A cornea transplant surgeon should specialize in partial corneal transplants, full corneal transplants, cataract surgeries and other ophthalmologic treatments. Verify education, accreditation, and certification from a physician’s state or country of origin as well as membership in Ophthalmology associations and organizations in his or her country of origin.
