Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are a variety of types of corneal transplant surgeries, 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 the most common types of corneal transplant surgery. 

PK is a type of surgery in which the surgeon removes the damaged outer layer of the cornea using a sharp knife and then replaces it with an artificial surface. This type of surgery is usually used to treat severe cases of dry eye syndrome or as a replacement for lost sight due to cataracts. 

DSEK/ DSAEK is a type of surgery in which the surgeon removes the damaged inner layer of the cornea using a sharp knife and then replaces it with an artificial surface. This type of surgery is usually used to treat severe cases of wet age or as a replacement for lost sight due to cataracts. DMEK is a type of surgery in which the surgeon removes the damaged middle layer of the cornea using a sharp knife and then replaces it with an artificial surface. This type of surgery is usually used to treat moderate cases of dry eye syndrome or as a replacement for lost sight due to cataracts. 

DALK is a type of surgery in which the surgeon removes the damaged front layer of the cornea using a sharp knife and then replaces it with an artificial surface. This type of surgery is usually used to treat mild cases of dry eye syndrome or as a replacement for lost sight due to cataracts. SALK is a type of surgery in which the surgeon removes the damaged back layer of the cornea using a sharp knife and then replaces it with an artificial surface. This type of surgery is usually used to treat very mild cases of dry eye syndrome or as a replacement for lost sight due to cataracts.
