In the past ten years, technological advances for corneal transplants have made it one of the safest surgeries for vision restoration. This operation replaces the faulty “windshield” of the eye with a healthy cornea from a human donor cadaver. The imported tissue is carefully screened and processed through an eye bank so that the transfer is safely done. Because the cornea does not have blood vessels, you don’t have to worry about it scarring or having a negative response to injury or surgery. You can expect new corneas to last for at least 10 years. The slow healing process of the cornea after surgery will require some in-home care assistance while you recover. A-1 Home Care offers superb post-surgery care in Irvine and all over Orange County.
Minimize Activities and Protect Your Eye
Avoid damaging your new cornea with high risk activities if you have comorbid conditions such as vertigo or osteoporosis. Rising up too quickly from bed or a chair could stir dizziness, which could lead to a fall, and if you hit your head, you could also damage your eye. Round-the-clock supervision from an in-home caregiver will minimize the chances of falling if you have an extra pair of hands and feet to help with cooking, cleaning, medication reminders and transportation. A-1 Home Care’s post-operative services include pick-ups and drop-offs at the surgery site, short-term or long-term care, part-time and full-time (24-hour) caregiver assistance in Irvine.
