El trasplante de córnea es un valioso recurso usado en presencia de alteraciones irreversibles de la córnea, como opacidades debidas a cirugía, infecciones, trauma, quemaduras, degeneraciones, distrofia corneal y opacidades congénitas, ectasias severas o alteraciones del poder refractivo espesor y forma, como el queratocono.

On the day of the surgery, the patient arrives to either a hospital or an outpatient surgery center, where the procedure will be performed. The patient is given a brief physical examination by the surgical team and is taken to the operating room. In the OR, the patient lies down on an operating table and is either given general anesthesia, or local anesthesia and a sedative.

With anesthesia induced, the surgical team prepares the eye to be operated on and drapes the face around the eye. An eyelid speculum is placed to keep the lids open, and some lubrication is placed on the eye to prevent drying. In children, a metal ring is stitched to the sclera which will provide support of the sclera during the procedure.
