Cornea transplantation, 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 that helps focus light. A transplant can restore vision lost due to conditions such as advanced keratoconus, corneal scarring from injury or infection, or previous unsuccessful transplants.
Cornea transplant surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure and takes about two hours. After the surgery, you will need to wear a protective shield over your eye for several days and use eyedrops to help prevent infection.
If you are considering a cornea transplant, it’s important to consult with an experienced ophthalmologist who performs this type of surgery regularly. At Mantracare Lucknow, our team of expert surgeons has performed many successful cornea transplants and we are dedicated to providing our patients with the best possible care. If you would like more information on cornea transplants or other eye conditions and treatments, please contact us today.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are a variety of types of corneal transplant surgeries, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. One of the most common is penetrating keratoplasty (PK), which is often used to replace damaged or destroyed corneas. This procedure involves surgeons making a small hole through the front of the eye and then inserting a long, thin telescope into the eye. They then use this device to remove damaged or destroyed tissue from the inside of the eye.
Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/ DSAEK) is another common type of surgery. It involves surgeons making a large hole in the front of the eye and then removing damaged or destroyed tissue from the inside using a razor-like device called a stripping knife. Afterward, they uses a special vacuum to suck out any remaining tissue.
Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is similar to DSEK, but it uses a much smaller hole in the front of the eye. This procedure is usually used when damage or destruction limited options for replacing lost corneal tissue.
Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is another common type of surgery. It involves surgeons making two small holes in the front of the eye and then inserting two long, thin telescopes into them. They then use these devices to remove damaged or destroyed tissue from within the eye’s deeper layers of tissue.
Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is a less invasive form of keratoplasty surgery. It is usually used when there is not much damage or destruction to the cornea, and it involves surgeons making only one small hole in the front of the eye. They then use this device to remove damaged or destroyed tissue from within the eye’s deeper layers of tissue.
Artificial Cornea Transplant (Keratoprosthesis) is another type of surgery. It is usually used in cases where a person’s eyes are not suitable for traditional corneal transplant surgeries and involves surgeons making multiple holes in the front of the eye, and then inserting an artificial cornea into each one.
