eyes stitches cornea replacement surgery
In a corneal transplant a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced by donated corneal tissue the graft in its entirety penetrating keratoplasty or in part lamellar keratoplasty. The graft is taken from a recently deceased individual with no known diseases or other factors that may affect the viability of the donated tissue or the health of the recipient. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris pupil and anterior chamber.

    If i were to get a transplant, i'd want a different coloured eye so then i could have split colours

      Well they don't replace your iris (your eye color), jus the top layer of the eye that covers the iris and pupil, which is actually clear. But I agree that if I could change my eye color with a necessary surgery, I'd go for it :)

    I guess sutures are preferable to staples when it comes to the eye.......

    I'm curious as to what's wrong with the 4th eye up from the bottom...the whites of his/her eyes aren't white, but more reddish. Now that person looks like they got their eye color transplanted, especially with the jelly-like circle around the iris
