A cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one. The cornea is the clear outer layer at the front of the eye and plays a vital role in vision. A transplant can restore vision lost due to conditions such as corneal ulcers, scarring from injury or disease, or dystrophies that cause the cornea to thicken and distort.
In Kota, there are many hospitals that offer this surgery. However, it is important to choose a hospital carefully, as not all hospitals are equally equipped to handle this delicate procedure. Make sure to do your research and pick a hospital with a good reputation for successful transplants.
Recovery from surgery takes some time, but most people experience significant improvement in vision within a few months. With proper care and follow-up, transplant patients can enjoy long-term success with their new corneas.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are a variety of types of corneal transplant surgeries available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common type of transplant is penetrating keratoplasty (PK), which involves removing the damaged layer of the cornea and replacing it with an artificial replacement. This procedure is often recommended when there is significant damage to the surface of the cornea, as in cases of burns or injuries.
Another common type of surgery is Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/DSAEK). This procedure replaces the damaged layer of the corneal endothelium with an artificial replacement. DSEK is often recommended in cases where there is extensive damage to the outer layer of the cornea, as in diseases like lupus or eczema.
Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a newer option that replaces only part of the damaged layer of the corneal endothelium. This procedure is often recommended in cases where there is only limited damage to the outer layer of the cornea, or when patients are unwilling or unable to have a PK surgery.
Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is a more advanced option than DSEK and DMEK. It involves removing both the inner and outer layers of the cornea, leaving only the stroma (the thickest layer of the cornea). This procedure is often recommended in cases where there is significant damage to both the inner and outer layers of the cornea, or when patients are unable to have a PK surgery.
Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is similar to DALK, but it involves removing only the outer layer of the cornea. This procedure is often recommended in cases where there is limited damage to the outer layer of the cornea, or when patients are unwilling or unable to have a PK surgery.
Artificial Cornea Transplant (Keratoprosthesis) An artificial cornea transplant (also called a keratoprosthesis) is a more complex surgery that involves attaching an artificial cornea to the eye. This procedure is often recommended in cases where there is significant damage to the cornea and other options have failed. Keratoprosthesis surgery is a more complicated surgery than PK, and it has a higher risk of complications.
