Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Ambala​

There is a growing demand for cornea transplantation in Ambala. This is because the cornea is the most important and sensitive organ in the eye. A damaged or missing cornea can cause reduced vision and even blindness. In cases of severe damage, a cornea transplant may be the only option to restore normal vision.

The procedure of a cornea transplant involves removing the damaged or defective cornea and replacing it with an artificial implant. The implant is made from either natural or synthetic materials and is custom fitted to the patient’s eye. After surgery, patients typically experience some discomfort as the implant adjusts to its new surroundings. However, most patients report excellent vision after a cornea transplant.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are many types of corneal transplant surgeries, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Some of the most common types of corneal transplants include 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).

PK is a procedure in which the surgeon makes a small hole in the front of the eye using a needle to penetrate the cornea. This allows them to remove part of the outer layer of the cornea, which can help improve vision. DSEK is a similar procedure, but it uses a laser to make the hole. DMEK uses a special type of surgery tool called an endothelial stent that helps keep the damaged areas in the eye open so that nutrients and oxygen can reach the damaged cells.

DALK is a more advanced version of DMEK that uses an implant to hold open the damaged area. SALK is a less-invasive version of DALK that uses ultrasound to open up the area around the hole made by PK or DSEK. Finally, Keratoprosthesis is an artificial cornea replacement system that uses small lenses to replace the damaged cornea.
