  Well, according to some doctors, you should not smoke after the corneal transplant. If you keep smoking during the recovery process, it will just make your eyes worse. Generally speaking, after the surgery, you need to be careful about your eyes, for your eyes are more fragile than before. Through smoking, it will lead to more serious problems.
