The vision is 10-15% in left eye while Right eye is normal , My local doctor suggested to go for Cornial kerotoplasty but had little doubt over the acceptance of the Donar's connia as well as tissue matching ,if not accepted then he may loose complete vision for that eye , At present all the internal nerves system are OK and the eye is responsing well except the surfsce of cornia turned white due to limeburn enjury.
Can somebody help me and advise to improve and save vision of my son, what are the best hospitals for this treatment, hoe is the success rate of these kind of cases?
Pl. guide me .

Rejection is rare with corneal transplant but can happen. If your son's cornea has a lot of blood vessels in it now due to the injury, then risk of rejection is higher which may be why your doctor is concerned.
This is not a question that can be answered on the internet as the risks and odds of success will depend upon the particular condition of your son's eye. Follow your doctor's advice and consult the corneal specialist he suggests. Your doctor is in the best position to know which doctor (not which hospital, the doctor does the surgery not the hospital) is the best local surgeon for the procedure.

I do believe that corneal transplant would help and the chance of rejection are minimal since the blood supply is much less. You need to contact a good specialized Eye hospital and not the GP.
