Cirurgia

The Clinic has a history of over 40 years of experience in corneal transplantation.

In the early 1980s, cornea preservation technology was introduced in Portugal and we created the first Portuguese private eye bank (since discontinued).

Three years after its implementation, the Clinic had already performed its 100th transplant.

Our professionals currently carry out the surgical component of corneal transplantation at Hospital de São Francisco in Porto.

Corneal transplantation remains the surgical option for many conditions that cause opacity or irregularity of the cornea (keratoconus, traumatic or infectious scarring, hereditary or acquired corneal degenerations, etc.).
