The first cornea transplant was performed in 1905 by surgeon, named Eduard Zim in Czech Republic.
The first successful tissue transplant is generally considered to be the corneal transplant, which was performed in the late 19th century. The first documented successful case was by Dr. Eduard Zirm in 1905, when he transplanted a cornea from a deceased donor to a patient who had lost their vision due to a corneal disease. This pioneering procedure laid the groundwork for future advancements in transplant medicine.
Germiniao Ocampo is the one who introduced the corneal transplantation in the Philippines - Also he designed a corneal dissector.
Today, it's possible to receive a corneal transplant to restore damaged vision.
High blood pressure doesn’t directly affect the cornea or the success of a corneal transplant, but it can influence overall healing and surgical safety. At Hoopes Vision, we carefully evaluate each patient’s health before surgery. If blood pressure is well controlled with medication and regular monitoring, most patients can safely undergo a corneal transplant. However, uncontrolled hypertension may increase the risk of complications such as delayed healing or changes in eye pressure after surgery. Our team works closely with your primary physician to ensure your blood pressure and overall health are stable before proceeding. The goal is to provide the safest, most successful outcome for your vision and long-term eye health. Call for more 801-563-0200
