Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Dhanbad​

A cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. The transplanted cornea retains its original shape and functions.

Cornea transplant is indicated for patients with corneal damage due to diseases such as keratoconus, Fuch’s dystrophy, Pellucid marginal degeneration, or previous unsuccessful refractive surgery. It is also indicated for those with severe corneal scarring from infections or injuries.

If you are considering a cornea transplant in Dhanbad, please consult with an experienced ophthalmologist to learn more about the procedure and whether it is right for you.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are many types of corneal transplant surgeries, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK), Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/ DSAEK), Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) are the most common types of cornea transplants. 

PK is a surgery in which the surgeon removes the damaged portion of the cornea and replaces it with an artificial implant. DSEK/ DSAEK replaces the damaged Descemet’s membrane with an artificial implant. DMEK replaces the damaged endothelium layer below Descemet’s membrane with an artificial implant. DALK replaces the damaged posterior surface of the lens with an artificial implant. SALK replaces only the superficial layer of the eye’s outermost coat, or epithelium, with an artificial implant. All these surgeries require that you be awake during surgery and able to see clearly after surgery.
