EYE Health in Uganda - EYE Transplant

Eye problems are increasingly becoming a menace for many Ugandans with a number losing functionality in either one or both eyes. Lucky enough the country has eye specialists who can do transplants that help restore vision without patients getting rushed abroad. The problem however is that the country has no eye bank and people ready to donate tissue after they’ve died.
In Health Focus this week, Florence Naluyimba takes you to theatre to witness a corneal transplant done on a patient with keratoconus eye disease whose tissue was imported from abroad.

Really I didn't know that there is eye transplant. I have just learnt it today from your story. It's however a very dangerous and delicate process according to what I have seen. Florence your my best journalist on Health issues. Keep it up.

they do not have the capability to transplant eyes yet. the part that they are transplanting in the video is only the very front layer of the eye, not the entire eye itself.
