General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for your consultation at HCM !
I have gone through your case , as a your physician I can tell you that so far whole eye transplantation hasn't been done...
American scientists are currently working over it..but still long way to go...
As far as transplantation of individual parts of eye are concerned it can be done successfully without any complications... Like cornea transplant , retinal repairs etc....
If you are concerned about pain you can visit ophthalmologist he will then refer to special pain care clinic....
Hope your query is adequately answered if you still have any feel free to ask..
Regards
