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.

Although corneal transplant surgery is considered low-risk. However, no surgery is completely risk free. Risks for this surgery include eye infection, bleeding, and cataracts.
