After corneal transplantation, lifelong medication is usually not required if recovery is good. If complications such as rejection occur, lifelong medication may be needed.
The purpose of medication after corneal transplantation is to prevent infection, rejection and other complications after surgery.
If the cornea recovers well after surgery, the medication can be stopped gradually for observation. If the cornea recovers poorly, or if rejection occurs, long-term medication may be needed.
Since each patient’s recovery after corneal transplantation is different, it is necessary to consult with your physician to determine whether you need to take medication for the rest of your life and what kind of medication to use.
It is recommended that patients after corneal transplantation undergo regular checkups and take medication as prescribed by the doctor.
