Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Karnal​

The keratoplasty procedure is a common corrective surgery that restores the cornea to its original shape and function. Corneal transplants are a popular option for patients who experience significant deterioration in their vision due to conditions like age, disease or trauma. In order to qualify for a transplant, patients must undergo a comprehensive examination by an ophthalmologist that assesses the severity of their vision impairment and determines whether transplant is the best course of action.

Keratoplasty is one of the most common surgeries performed in ophthalmology, and it has been shown to be an effective treatment for restoring vision in patients who suffer from significant corneal damage. If you are considering this surgical option as an option for your own eyes, please talk with your doctor in Karnal about your individual situation and see what options may be best for you.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are many types of corneal transplant surgeries available, each with its own benefits 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 the most common types of corneal transplants performed in Karnal.

 PK is a procedure that involves removing the entire front surface of the eye’s cornea and replacing it with an artificial piece of plastic or mesh. This surgery is often used to correct severe vision problems caused by degeneration or injury to the front part of the eye. 

DSEK/ DSAEK is a more advanced form of PK that replaces only the thin layer of tissue on the inside surface of the cornea. This surgery is usually used to treat more severe vision problems than PK, and it also has a higher success rate. DMEK is a procedure that uses a small surgical knife to remove a small amount of tissue from either side of the front surface of the cornea, then replaces this tissue with an artificial piece of plastic or mesh. This surgery is sometimes used to treat very serious vision problems caused by damage to the central part of the eye. 

DALK is a more complex version of PK that involves removing the entire front surface of the eye’s cornea and replacing it with an artificial piece of plastic or mesh. This surgery is often used to correct severe vision problems caused by degeneration or injury to the front part of the eye. SALK is a procedure that uses a small surgical knife to remove a small amount of tissue from either side of the front surface of the cornea, then replaces this tissue with an artificial piece of plastic or mesh. This surgery is usually used to treat more serious vision problems than PK, and it also has a higher success rate.

Archana

“I was suffering from corneal opacity for about 3 months. I did not want to lose my vision. I reached out to the team at MantraCare and the eye specialist told me that I required a corneal transplant surgery because of the opacity. He reassured me that they have a very good success rate and it would restore my sight back to normal.”
