Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Karimnagar​

If you are considering a cornea transplant or keratoplasty in Karimnagar, it is important to understand the different types of procedures and their associated risks. A cornea transplant is the most common procedure performed on eyes in India, with more than 1,000 procedures done each year. A keratoplasty is a similar procedure that restores vision in people who have lost sight due to a disease or injury to the eye.

There are several risks associated with both types of surgery. Cornea transplants are considered to be very high-risk procedures, with a 15-percent chance of causing serious complications during surgery. Additionally, patients who receive a cornea transplant may experience significant visual loss for a period of time after surgery, as well as long-term issues such as glare caused by light entering your eye directly through the new cornea.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are many 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), superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) are all type of artificial cornea transplants.

PK is the most common form of artificial cornea transplant and is used when a patient has lost their natural eye due to disease or injury. DSEK is a more advanced form of PK and is used when there is significant damage to the outer layer of the eye called the epithelium. DMEK is an intermediate step between DSEK and DALK and is used when there is moderate damage to the epithelium but not enough to warrant a DSEK procedure. DALK is the most advanced form of artificial cornea transplant and is used when there is extensive damage to the outer layer of the eye called the epithelium. SALK is a less common type of artificial cornea transplant that uses a small piece of donor tissue from another part of the body as opposed to using scratch grafts taken from inside the eyes.
