Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Sonipat​

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 cloudy or scarred from disease or injury, and other treatments such as eyeglasses, contact lenses, or medication cannot improve vision.

Sonipat offers world-class facilities for cornea transplantation. The surgeons here are highly experienced and have performed many successful transplants. The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about two hours. After the surgery, you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. You will need to use eye drops for several weeks or months to prevent infection and help heal the transplant. Most people who have a successful cornea transplant enjoy greatly improved vision.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are several types of corneal transplant surgeries. They include 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), and artificial cornea transplant (keratomoprosthesis).

PK is the most common type of corneal transplant surgery. It involves removing the damaged outer layer of the eye’s surface with a surgical knife and replacement with an artificial implant. This procedure is usually done on patients who have a deep tear in their eye’s surface. 

DSEK is a similar surgery that replaces the damaged endothelium instead of the entire surface of the eye. It is typically used on patients who have shallow tears in their eye’s surface. 

DMEK replaces the damaged Membrane Endothelium layer. It is typically used on patients who have complex corneal injuries or abnormalities, such as abnormal blood vessels or abnormal nerves. 

DALK replaces the damaged anterior lamellae with artificial implants. It is often used on patients who have significant iris damage or when there are problems with other tissues in the area around the eyes, such as skin or fat layers. 

SALK replaces only the superficial layer of undamaged cornea with an artificial implant. It is used to treat larger lesions on the cornea that can’t be treated with a more minor surgery, such as PK or DSEK/DSAEK.
