Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Shimoga
There is a very good reason why keratoplasty, or cornea transplant, is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in the world. The cornea is the clear front window of the eye and its failure can lead to reduced vision, blindness, and even total loss of sight.
Keratoplasty surgery is typically done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. Patients generally return to work and normal activities within a few days after surgery. Most patients are able to see well enough to drive and go about their life without any additional assistance shortly after surgery.
If you are considering keratoplasty for your eye health, then you should speak with your doctor about the best option for you based on your individual situation and needs. The team at our clinic in Shimoga are experts in performing this life-saving surgery and we would be happy to discuss all of your options with you.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are different types of corneal transplant surgeries that can be performed to restore vision. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK), Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK/ DSAEK), Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) are all procedures that remove a damaged or diseased layer of the cornea. Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is a less invasive procedure that makes small cuts in the top layer of the cornea. Artificial Cornea Transplant (Keratoprosthesis) is a newer technology that involves attaching an artificial device to the front surface of the eye to replace a missing or damaged layer of the cornea.
