Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Phagwara
The Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty is an important procedure that can restore your vision if surgery is required. The cornea is the clear front window of the eye and it helps to focus light on the retina, which transmits images to the brain. Damage to the cornea can occur from a variety of causes, including exposure to harmful light or chemicals, accidents, or diseases such as keratoconus.
If you are experiencing this condition, seeking out surgical treatment may be your best option.There are several types of corneal transplant procedures available, depending on the severity of your damage and your preferences. In a standard transplant procedure, a donor cornea is surgically removed and replaced by the patient’s own tissue.

Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are many types of corneal transplants, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 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) and artificial cornea transplant all involve removing the damaged or diseased cornea and replacing it with an artificial one.
- The main advantage of PK is that it is the most common type of transplant performed in the Phagwara. It involves making a small incision in the patient’s eye and removing the damaged or diseased cornea using a special tool called a punch. The surgeon then places the new artificial cornea into position using sutures.
- DSEK is similar to PK but it involves using a special stapler to remove the damaged or diseased cornea. DSEK is less common than PK because it requires more skill and experience from the surgeon.
- DMEK is a newer type of transplant that combines DSEK with DALK. DMEK allows the surgeon to remove only the damaged or diseased portion of the cornea without having to remove all of it. This eliminates some of the risks associated with DSEK, such as excessive bleeding and deformation of the eye.
- DALK is a more invasive type of transplant that involves removing the entire cornea. DALK is usually reserved for patients with severe corneal damage or disease.
- SALK is the least invasive type of transplant and it only involves replacing the outer layer of the cornea. SALK is often used to treat patients with mild corneal damage or disease.
- Artificial cornea transplant is a new type of transplant that involves implanting an artificial cornea into the eye. Artificial cornea transplants are still in clinical trials and are not yet available to the general public.
