Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Bareilly​

Cornea transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one. It is one of the most successful organ transplant procedures and has helped restore vision to thousands of people worldwide. The cornea is the clear, outermost layer of the eye. It helps focus light onto the retina, which is responsible for converting light into nerve signals that are sent to the brain. 

The cornea can be damaged by disease, injury, or infection. When this happens, vision can become blurred or even lost altogether. Cornea transplantation is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and takes about two hours to complete. 

If you have been diagnosed with a condition that necessitates a cornea transplant, your ophthalmologist in Bareilly will discuss all of your treatment options with you and help you make the best decision for your individual case.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are a variety of types of corneal transplant surgeries that can be performed on patients. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK), Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/ DSAEK), Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) are the most common types of corneal transplants. Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is a less common type of transplant but is becoming more popular due to its low complication rate.

PK is the most common type of corneal transplant surgery. In PK, the surgeon removes part of the donor cornea and then transplants it into the patient’s eye. This surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure and requires only a few days in the hospital afterward. 

DSEK/ DSAEK is a similar surgery to PK, but it involves removing a much larger portion of the donor cornea. This surgery usually needs to be done as an outpatient procedure because it can be very risky for the patient if it is performed in an intensive care unit. 

DMEK involves cutting out part of the donor cornea and then sewing it onto the patient’s own eye so that it functions like a normal eye. This surgery usually needs to be done as an outpatient procedure because it can be very risky for the patient if it is performed in an intensive care unit.

DALK involves making an incision in the patient’s cornea and then transplanting a portion of the donor cornea into the eye. This surgery usually requires a few days of hospitalization because it is a more complex surgery than PK or DSEK/DSAEK. 

SALK is the least common type of corneal transplant surgery. In SALK, the surgeon makes an incision in the patient’s cornea and then transplants a portion of the donor cornea into the eye. This surgery usually requires a few days of hospitalization because it is a more complex surgery than PK or DSEK/DSAEK.
