A cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one. The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye and plays an important role in focusing light.
A transplant can improve vision and quality of life for people who have corneal damage from conditions such as disease, injury, or birth defects. In Guwahati, there are several hospitals that offer cornea transplant surgery.
The most experienced surgeons performing this type of surgery are at Mantracare in Guwahati. They have state-of-the-art facilities and use the latest technology for the best results. The first step in undergoing a cornea transplant is to undergo a comprehensive eye exam by an ophthalmologist to determine if you are a good candidate for the surgery. If you are considering this type of surgery, be sure to consult with an experienced ophthalmologist to discuss your options and make sure it is
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are a number of different types of corneal transplant surgeries, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. 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 keratectomy surgery.
In PK, the surgeon removes the damaged layer of the cornea using a blade or scalpel and replaces it with an artificial implant. The benefit of this surgery is that it is relatively easy to perform and results in a good visual outcome in most cases.
DSEK/ DSAEK is a more advanced type of PK surgery that uses a laser to cut through the damaged layer of the cornea. This procedure results in a better quality artificial Cornea Transplant because there is less chance for scarring and better control over the thickness of the implant. DMEK is similar to DSEK/ DSAEK, but instead of replacing the entire damaged layer of the cornea, it only removes parts of it. This procedure results in a thinner but stronger artificial Cornea Transplant and is usually preferred when there are severe vision problems due to limited vision in one or both eyes.
DALK is a more recent type of PK surgery that uses a laser to remove the outer layer of the cornea, leaving the inner layer intact. This results in a stronger and more durable artificial cornea transplant. SALK is another newer type of surgery that removes only the very surface of the cornea, resulting in a thinner but still strong artificial transplant.
