Woa--just a minute.  What is the cause of the cornea edema? 
Is there something that is so seriously wrong with the entire cornea that
it is completely hazed and is non-responsive to conventional medical
treatment  (somtimes as simple as a hypertonic eye drop/ointment) ?

There's all kinds of reasons and treatments for corneal edema. You'll need
to be more specific. I assume you've consulted with the appropriate
ophthalmolgist-specialist?
