Corneal transplant patients are given anti-rejection eye drops that usually contain ciclosporin. Any transplanted tissue will be rejected without immunosuppressants.
I am not an expert in this area. But the types of meds given and their duration depend on the case. My aunt, because she had complications after her second surgery, has to continue with the immunosuppressant eye drops. It certainly is different than a heart transplant that requires antirejection meds for life. Immunosuppressants are a double edged sword. They often deal with one issue to in turn create other issues. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

The way I read the study was to either need to increase the frequency or keep them on longer? The drops aren’t forever like a heart transplant?
