LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Dec 5, 2012) - According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), eye surgeons performed over 42,600 corneal transplants last year. With over 3.6 million people in the U.S. suffering from significant visual impairment, Dr. Aaron Waite and the New Eyes center for eye care in Las Vegas say corneal transplants are quickly becoming a popular treatment for treating corneal disease and successfully reducing vision loss. Dr. Waite says thanks to the emergence of two innovative procedures, penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK), patients are now able to experience improved vision and a more comfortable daily life through a corneal transplant.
