After the surgery, you will need to stay in the hospital for 3-5 days. During this time, your eye will be covered with a protective shield. You will also be given eye drops to prevent infection and help healing.Your vision will be blurry at first, but it should improve within a few weeks. Most people who have this surgery end up with good vision.
If you are considering cornea transplant / keratoplasty in Hyderabad, please consult with an experienced ophthalmologist to learn more about the risks and benefits of this surgery.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are a variety of types of corneal transplants, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 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 keratoprosthesis procedures.
PK is the most common type of PK surgery and involves using a special type of surgical microscope to drill tiny holes into the outer layer of the cornea. This procedure is often used to treat severe cases of myopia, where the eye becomes too long and curved due to too much eyeglasses or contact lenses being worn.
DSEK/ DSAEK is a more complex form of PK surgery that uses a specialized device called an apical scissors to carefully cut away the outer layer of the cornea. This procedure is often used to treat severe cases of uveitis, an inflammation of the uvea, which can lead to vision loss in one or both eyes.
DMEK is a more advanced form of DSEK that uses a specially designed microkeratome to make precise cuts into the cornea. This procedure is often used to correct severe cases of myopia or astigmatism.
DALK is a less invasive version of DSEK/ DSAEK that uses a specialized surgical device called a trephine to only remove the inner layer of the cornea. This procedure is most commonly used in cases where severe edema from uveitis has caused scarring inside the cornea and not just on its outer surface.
SALK is an even less invasive version of DALK that uses a special device called a pachymeter to make small incisions into the outer layer of the cornea. This procedure is often used to treat cases of keratoconus where the cornea has become too thin and steep.
