“I can’t imagine what I’d be doing now without the transplant, but I certainly wouldn’t be a doctor.”
Declan Murphy, twenty-five year old physician in the United Kingdom, had a corneal transplant in his left eye six years ago, after his failing vision had made it almost impossible for him to continue with his studies as a medical student. At age 12, Declan was diagnosed with keratoconus, an eye disease which causes the cornea to change into a cone-like shape. Declan will likely need a cornea transplant in his right eye in the near future, but as he begins a research rotation with Northumbria NHA Foundation Trust, he hopes to become an ophthalmologist.
