Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Gandhidham​

In cases of severe damage to the cornea, either from a natural cause or from an injury, a cornea transplant may be the best option. A cornea transplant is a surgical procedure in which the entire outer surface of the eye’s lens is replaced with new tissue. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about one hour.

The donor cornea must be quality-controlled during the entire surgical process to ensure that all of the tissue is accepted and that there are no complications. Once the surgery is complete, patients usually experience minimal discomfort thanks to the use of advanced medical technology. In most cases, patients can resume their normal activities within days after surgery.

If you are considering a corneal transplant, please contact Mantracare in Gandhidham for more information. We would be happy to provide you with a detailed description of our procedures and answer any questions you may have.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

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

PK is a surgery in which the surgeon removes part of the cornea’s outer layer, or epithelium, and replaces it with donor tissue from a cadaver or another patient. This procedure is often used to treat advanced dry eye syndrome. DSEK is a surgery in which the surgeon removes part of the cornea’s inner layer, or stroma, and replaces it with donor tissue from a cadaver or another patient. This procedure is often used to treat severe myopia. DMEK is a surgery in which the surgeon removes part of the cornea’s middle layer, or limbus, and replaces it with donor tissue from a cadaver or another patient. This procedure is often used to treat moderate myopia.

DALK is a surgery in which the surgeon removes part of the cornea’s deep layer, or endothelium, and replaces it with donor tissue from a cadaver or another patient. This procedure is often used to treat keratoconus. SALK is a surgery in which the surgeon removes part of the cornea’s superficial layer, or epithelium, and replaces it with donor tissue from a cadaver or another patient. This procedure is often used to treat surface irregularities of the cornea.

“At first I was scared, but as soon as I saw the details of my corneal transplant surgery, I knew that this is something that needed to be done. The doctors and nurses made me feel comfortable and they helped so much-all of them were just so convincing. They were clear about what the results would be, and it was all worth it.”
