If you have had an endothelial keratoplasty – a type of partial-thickness transplant that uses an air bubble to hold the donated cornea in place – you may be asked to lie on your back as much as possible in the first few days after surgery.
Do not rub your eyes, during the first weeks after surgery, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting.
If you have a job that does not involve physical strain, you can return to work 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, if your job involves manual labour, you should wait for 3 to 4 months.
Avoid smoky or dusty places as this could irritate your eyes. If your eye is sensitive to light, wearing sunglasses can help.
Avoid contact sports and swimming until you're given clear advice that it's safe, and wear protective goggles when resuming contact sports.
Bath and shower as normal, but be careful not to get water in your eye for at least a month.
You will usually be given a patch to wear at night for the first few weeks after surgery to help protect your eye.
For all types of cornea transplant, you have to use steroid or antibiotic eyedrops daily.
These are normally required for several months, although some people may need to use them for more than a year.

The time it takes for your vision to return after a cornea transplant can range from as little as a few weeks up to a year or more.
