What are the risks and recovery expectations?

Common risks include graft dislocation (which may require repositioning), graft rejection, elevated eye pressure, and persistent corneal edema. Recovery involves 4–8 weeks of limited activity, avoiding eye rubbing, and using prescribed antibiotic and steroid drops. Most patients notice vision improvement within weeks, with full stabilization by 3–6 months. Regular follow-up is essential to monitor graft health.
