Keratoplasty /Cornea Transplant Surgery in Junagadh

There are a variety of corneal transplant surgeries available, 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 procedures that rebuild the cornea using tissue from other parts of the body. 

PK is a popular option for people who have moderate to severe dry eye syndrome. The surgery removes a small amount of healthy outer corneal tissue and replaces it with artificial tissue created from medical-grade silicone. This procedure results in a better vision because the artificial cornea is more resistant to tears and allows more light into the eye. 

DSEK is also beneficial for people with dry eye syndrome because it restores normal drainage of tears, which helps prevent further damage to the eyes. DMEK is an effective treatment for those who have difficulty wearing contact lenses due to advanced age or significant astigmatism. The surgery replaces a portion of the thinest layer of the cornea – the stroma – with new, healthy tissue harvested from elsewhere in the body. DMEK results in improved vision due to increased clarity of vision, less glare, and decreased likelihood of future cataracts. 

DALK is a good option for people with keratoconus, an eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge outward. The surgery removes the outer layer of the cornea and replaces it with new tissue from another part of the body. This procedure can improve vision and prevent further damage to the eyes. SALK is an effective treatment for people with keratoconus and other corneal conditions. The surgery removes the outer layer of the cornea and replaces it with new tissue from another part of the body. This procedure can improve vision and prevent further damage to the eyes.
