03:37Why this corneal transplantation is performed?
03:40In this corneal transplantation we transfer cornea from a dead body after checking the quality of image of cornea like you are seeing on the image.
03:50In this we just check the quality of cornea which we have collected from a dead person.
03:56Then once the quality is good, according to the quality of tissue we are transferring the cornea to the live person to restore the vision of the blind patient.
