Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Bhubaneswar​

A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with healthy tissue from a donor. Your cornea is the clear outer layer of your eye. It helps focus light so you can see clearly. 

A transplant is needed when your cornea becomes damaged from disease or injury and no longer works properly. Cornea transplants are very successful. More than 95 out of 100 people who have the surgery have much better vision afterward. But it’s not perfect. You may still need to wear glasses or contact lenses after the transplant.

Mantracare is one of the best places for cornea transplants in Bhubaneswar with a success rate of 98%. We use the latest techniques and our team of experienced surgeons performs more than 500 transplants every year.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

When it comes to types of corneal transplant surgery, there are many options to choose from. Some of the most common procedures include penetrating keratoplasty (PK), Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/ DSAEK), Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), and superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK).

Penetrating keratoplasty is a procedure that is used to repair damage to the cornea caused by conditions such as age, diabetes, and other eye diseases. It involves removing the damaged layer of the cornea using a surgical knife and then replacing it with an artificial implant. The implant may be made out of plastic or silicone, and it is usually shaped like a sphere or cylinder.

Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty is another popular type of surgery. It is usually performed on people who have mild to moderate vision loss due to age or glaucoma. In this procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged layer of the cornea using a surgical blade and then removes any excess tissue that has been created by the erosion process. This leaves behind a thin layer of healthy tissue on top of the artificial implant.

Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty is similar to DSEK/ DSAEK, but it is usually performed on people who have more severe vision loss. In this procedure, the surgeon removes the entire back layer of the cornea, which includes Descemet’s membrane. This leaves a very thin layer of healthy tissue on top of the artificial implant.

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty is often performed on people who have damage to the front surface of the cornea. In this procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged layer of the cornea using a surgical knife and then replaces it with an artificial implant. The implant is usually made out of plastic or silicone, and it is usually shaped like a sphere or cylinder.

Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty is a variation of DALK that is often performed on people who have damage to the back surface of the cornea. In this procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged layer of the cornea using a surgical knife and then replaces it with an artificial implant. The implant is usually made out of plastic or silicone, and it is usually shaped like a sphere or cylinder.
