Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Gaya​

A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. This surgery is usually performed to improve vision.

Cornea transplant surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning the patient goes home the same day. The surgery takes about two hours and is done under local anesthesia. Recovery time varies from person to person but is usually around four to six weeks.

If you are considering cornea transplant surgery, it is important to find an experienced surgeon in Gaya who performs this type of surgery often. Be sure to ask about the surgeon’s success rate and experience with this type of surgery before making your decision.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are several 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), deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), and superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) are all types of corneal transplants that reconstruct the surface of the eye. Artificial cornea transplant (Keratoprosthesis) is a newer type of surgery that replaces part or all of an artificial lens with healthy tissue from the patient’s own eye. 

  • PK is the most common type of corneal transplant, and it reconstructs the surface of the eye by removing infected, diseased, or damaged tissue and replacing it with healthy new skin. 
  • DSEK/ DSAEK is a more advanced type of PK surgery that uses a special laser to remove excess tissue above and below the stroma layer in the eye. 
  • DMEK uses a special tool to cut into the stroma layer and then remove underlying diseased or damaged tissue. 
  • DALK is a similar surgery used to treat moderate to severe astigmatism. 
  • SALK is used to correct moderate to severe myopia. 
  • Keratoprosthesis is less common than PK, DSEK/ DSAEK, DMEK, and SALK, but it is becoming more popular as a treatment for patients with severe corneal damage.
