Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Saharanpur
A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye that helps focus light. A transplanted cornea can restore vision loss due to conditions such as keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy, and other corneal diseases.
Cornea transplant surgery is performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. The surgeon makes a small incision in the eye and removes the damaged or diseased cornea. The new cornea is then placed in position and secured with sutures. After surgery, you will need to use eye drops to help prevent infection and reduce inflammation. Most people who have a successful transplant experience significant improvement in vision.
If you are considering a cornea transplant, it’s important to consult with an experienced eye surgeon who performs this type of surgery regularly. At Mantracare Saharanpur, our team of board-certified ophthalmologists has extensive experience performing all types of eye surgeries, including cornea transplants. We offer comprehensive care before and after your surgery to ensure the best possible outcome.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
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/ DSAEK), Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) are all popular corneal transplant surgeries.
PK is a surgery that uses a blade to make a small hole in the cornea. The surgeon then inserts a long, thin tube called a needle into the eye and pulls out part of the eyeball, which allows them to access the damaged area inside the cornea.
DSEK is similar to PK, but it uses a special tool called an endothelium stripping instrument to remove the outer layer of the cornea. DMEK is a more advanced version of DSEK that uses heat and pressure to break up the tissue inside the cornea.
DALK is an operation that replaces only part of the damaged area inside the cornea with donor tissue from another part of the body. SALK is similar to DALK, but it uses freeze-dried donated donor tissue instead of fresh donor tissue. Finally, Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is a corneal transplant surgery where only the very outermost layer of the cornea is replaced with donor tissue.
