Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are a variety of different types of corneal transplant surgeries that can be used to restore vision. 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 (keratoprosthesis) are all procedures that help restore sight.

Penetrating keratoplasty is the most common type of corneal transplant surgery. This procedure involves removing the damaged outer layer of the eye’s surface using a special tool called an excimer laser. This leaves the healthy inner layer of the eye intact, which helps improve vision. The excimer laser is also used in other types of transplants, such as Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty and Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty.

Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty is a more advanced form of PK. In this procedure, the surgeon removes most or all of the damaged layer of the eye using a razor-thin knife called a stripper filter. This leaves just enough donor skin behind to create a new external eye surface. This type of surgery is often required when PK fails.

Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty is a newer type of surgery that’s becoming more popular. In this procedure, the surgeon removes just the damaged layer of the eye using a special instrument called a microkeratome. This leaves the healthy inner layer of the eye intact, which helps improve vision.

DALK is a newer type of surgery that’s used to treat patients with corneal damage caused by diseases such as keratoconus. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the eye and removes the inner layer of the cornea. This leaves the healthy outer layer of the eye intact, which helps improve vision.

SALK is a newer type of surgery that’s used to treat patients with corneal damage caused by diseases such as keratoconus. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the eye and removes the inner layer of the cornea. This leaves the healthy outer layer of the eye intact, which helps improve vision.

Keratoprosthesis is a type of surgery that’s used to treat patients with corneal damage that can’t be treated with any other type of surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon implant a plastic device called a keratoprosthesis into the eye. This helps improve vision by providing a new surface for the eye.
