Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Mumbai​

A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one. The cornea is the clear, transparent outer layer at the front of the eye that helps focus light. It can restore vision that has become blurred or cloudy due to conditions such as an injury, infection, or disease.

If you’re considering a cornea transplant, it’s important to consult with an experienced ophthalmologist who performs this type of surgery regularly. At Mantracare Mumbai, our team of experts has extensive experience performing all types of cornea transplants and other complex eye surgeries. We will work with you to determine if a transplant is right for you and develop a personalized treatment plan to help restore your vision.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are many different types of corneal transplant surgeries, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK), Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), 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 Mumbai.

PK is the most common type of transplant surgery and involves removing the upper layer of the eye’s surface, including the cornea. This procedure is often used to restore vision in people who have lost their eyesight due to diseases like cataracts or glaucoma. DSEK is a similar type of surgery that removes only the lower layer of the eye’s surface, which is important because it allows better oxygen and nutrient delivery to the remaining parts of the eye. DMEK replaces part or all of a person’s damaged descemet membrane, which plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance and preventing infection in the eye. DALK repairs damage to one or more layers of a person’s cornea caused by age, injury, or disease. SALK is a less common type of surgery that corrects problems with just one layer of a person’s cornea.
