The surgical cost of a corneal transplant for viral keratitis is around $30,000 dollars. The exact cost will be affected by different surgical methods, surgical materials, regions, hospital levels, etc. For example, the surgical cost of penetrating corneal transplantation is higher compared to that of lamellar corneal transplantation. Some patients with viral keratitis may experience significant vision loss due to corneal perforation, corneal scarring formed after the inflammation has healed that is located in the central visual field area of the cornea, etc. Therefore, corneal transplantation can be considered as a treatment to improve vision. Different surgical methods can be chosen depending on the degree and location of the patient’s keratitis. Patients are advised to go to the hospital in time for a detailed examination and inquire about the cost of the surgery after clarifying the surgical method.
