Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Ahmednagar
Cornea transplantation or keratoplasty is a surgical procedure that restores the clearness of the eye’s surface by removing the damaged outer layer of the cornea. In Ahmednagar, there are several hospitals and clinics that offer this surgery. The most common cause of blindness in adults is corneal damage, which can be caused by diseases like cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), or burns.
Cornea transplant is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide because it offers a high cure rate – almost 100%. The surgery is performed as an outpatient under local anesthesia. First, the doctor removes the damaged cornea with a blade using a small incision made just below the eye’s pupil. Next, they replace it with an artificial cornea – either an implant or a prosthetic lens.
If you are considering getting a corneal transplant in Ahmednagar, please speak to your doctor about all your options and what would be best for you.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
The most common type of corneal transplant is the penetrating keratoplasty (PK), which involves removing the damaged cornea and replacing it with an artificial implant. Other types of transplant include the descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) and descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
These surgeries remove the damaged layer of cells that covers the surface of the cornea and replace them with healthy tissue from elsewhere in the body. The deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is a more recent technique that replaces only the outermost layer of cells in the cornea. The superfical anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is a milder version of DALK that replaces only part of the outermost layer of cells. The last type of transplant, artificial cornea transplant (keratoprosthesis), uses a prosthesis to imitate a natural eye lens.
