Now Offering Corneal Transplant Services for the North Country
River Hospital is pleased to announce that Dr. Gregory Joy, of its Ophthalmology Services Department, is now offering corneal transplant services for the North Country. This surgery involves the placement of corneal grafts which are used to repair damaged or compromised corneas. The cornea is the transparent tissue that covers the pupil and iris. Corneal transplantation is utilized when defects of the cornea significantly restrict light from entering the eye causing major vision problems. Transplant tissue is human eye tissue that has been donated and processed by the Central New York Eye Bank. River Hospital became licensed as a tissue bank by the New York State Department of Health in order to support this new health care intervention. River Hospital is pleased to add this innovative surgical procedure to its already wide array of Ophthalmological services they provide. As always, Jefferson Eye Surgeons and River Hospital are committed to providing the best and most innovative eye care to the North Country and surrounding areas.
