The consequences of a corneal transplant are evaluated and classified by care providers, but understanding and interpretation of the results varies between patients, and creates different views for them and influences their lives in different ways while these influences are largely unknown.
This study aimed to explore understanding of new life in patients after corneal transplantation.
This qualitative study was conducted using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach in Tehran in 2016. Twelve corneal transplant recipients (7 men, 5 women) who were chosen purposefully from penetrating corneal transplant recipients, participated in this study. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The content of the interviews was transcribed and analyzed using Van Manen's methodology.
Data analysis led to the emergence of several main themes, among which "having a new sense" and "fear and hope" were two of the most important themes.
It can be inferred from the overall participants' experiences that corneal transplant has brought about a new look at life for patients. However, transplant-related issues are endless and continuous, and a sense of fear and hope has always surrounded them.
角膜移植的后果由医护人员进行评估和分类，但患者对结果的理解和解读各不相同，这为他们创造了不同的看法，并以不同方式影响他们的生活，而这些影响在很大程度上是未知的。
本研究旨在探索角膜移植术后患者对新生活的理解。
2016年在德黑兰采用诠释现象学方法进行了这项定性研究。从穿透性角膜移植受者中有意选取12名角膜移植受者（7名男性，5名女性）参与本研究。采用半结构化访谈收集数据。访谈内容进行转录，并使用范曼的方法进行分析。
数据分析得出了几个主要主题，其中“有了新感觉”和“恐惧与希望”是两个最重要的主题。
从总体参与者的经历可以推断，角膜移植给患者带来了对生活的全新看法。然而，与移植相关的问题层出不穷，恐惧和希望的感觉一直围绕着他们。
