We are proud to introduce the facility of Corneal Transplantation at our hospital. India, a developing country, is home to nearly 20 million blind people. Corneal blindness accounts for a quarter of this huge number. A keratoplasty, or corneal transplant, has the potential to treat corneal blindness, wherein, a diseased cornea is replaced surgically, with healthy tissue from a donor.
Amritsar Eye Clinic has joined the fight against corneal blindness. We hope to make a significant impact in this field, particularly to the hilly areas of the state of Uttarakhand, where health care facilities are scarce, and blindness a major health issue.
