Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Patna​

Cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace the damaged cornea with a healthy one. The cornea is the clear, outermost layer of the eye and plays an important role in focusing light. A transplant is usually needed when the cornea becomes severely clouded or distorted from disease or injury.

Cornea transplant surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, which means that you can go home the same day. The surgery itself takes about two hours. Afterward, you will need to wear an eye patch for a few days and use eyedrops for several weeks or months. It may take several months for your vision to improve fully after a transplant.

If you live in Patna and are considering a cornea transplant, it’s important to find an experienced surgeon who performs this type of surgery frequently. Dr. Shweta Jain is a highly skilled and experienced ophthalmologist who routinely performs cornea transplants in Patna. She has helped many patients regain their vision after suffering from disease or injury-related damage to their corneas.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are a variety of different types of corneal transplant surgeries, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK), which is the most common type of surgery, involves cutting into the cornea and removing part of the inside layer. Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/DSAEK), also known as descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty, involves removing the endothelium—the thin layer of cells that lines the inside of the eye—from the surface of the cornea. Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), which is more recently developed, removes only the membranous portion of the endothelium, preserving its ability to produce aqueous humor. 

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), which is typically used in cases where PK or DSEK isn’t an option because of infection or severe astigmatism, makes several cuts into the cornea and then uses a balloon to push out the damaged tissue. Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK), which is usually used in cases where DALK isn’t an option because of severe astigmatism, makes fewer cuts and uses a lasers to heat up and expand the stroma—the middle layer of cells that covers Bowman’s layer—so that the damaged tissue can be removed.
