    You probably can’t.

    Corneal transplants are not considered life-saving. And ICE generally affects only one eye.

    So even without the transplant, you will not die or go blind.
    That makes it much less likely that Medicaid/Medicare will pay for the procedure.

    Private insurance might pay some. But you’ll still be left with a hefty bill.

    If there is a Lions Club in your city/area, contact them. Saving vision is their main goodworks project. They might organize some fundraisers for you.
