Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty Surgery
Cornea transplant surgery, also called keratoplasty, is a procedure to replace a damaged cornea with a healthy one from a donor. The donor cornea may be from a human or an animal.
The surgery is usually done to improve vision. It can also be done to relieve pain or other symptoms caused by a diseased or injured cornea.Cornea transplant surgery usually takes 1 to 2 hours. You will likely need to stay in the hospital overnight. You may have stitches that need to be removed in 1 to 2 weeks. Your eye will be covered with a bandage for the first day or two.
You will likely need to see your eye doctor often for follow-up appointments for at least the first year after surgery.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
Corneal transplant surgery is performed to replace a diseased or damaged cornea with a healthy one. The three main types of corneal transplant surgeries are full-thickness, partial-thickness, and lamellar.
Full-thickness corneal transplant surgery, also known as penetrating keratoplasty (PK), is the most common type of corneal transplant. In this procedure, the entire thickness of the diseased or damaged cornea is removed and replaced with a healthy donor cornea. PK surgery is used to treat conditions such as corneal scarring, keratoconus, and advanced forms of dry eye.
Partial-thickness corneal transplant surgery, also known as endothelial keratoplasty (EK), is less invasive than PK surgery and is used to treat conditions that affect the innermost layer of the cornea, known as the endothelium. In EK surgery, only the damaged endothelial layer is replaced with a healthy donor endothelium. This type of surgery is used to treat conditions such as Fuchs’ dystrophy and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.
Lamellar corneal transplant surgery is a type of partial-thickness surgery that involves removing only the outermost layer of the cornea (the epithelium) or the innermost layer (the endothelium). This type of surgery is used to treat conditions such as keratoconus and corneal scarring.
