Hi and welcome to HCM,
There is no problem in having a corneal transplant after a paralysis attack.
But this surgery is a major surgery and the only concern is that is your father in a good physical state to bear the surgical trauma ?
Unfortunately, there is no other way. If the doctor has suggested corneal transplant, then the corneal opacities must be quite severe.
All the best!!!
