Free ConsultationCornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Tiruchirappalli
A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. The cornea is the clear, curved window at the front of the eye that transmits light into the eye and plays a major role in focusing vision. A transplant is usually necessary when glasses, contact lenses, or other medical treatments can no longer improve vision.
Cornea transplants are performed routinely by ophthalmologists across the world. In Tiruchirappalli, there are several hospitals that offer this procedure. The cost of a cornea transplant in Tiruchirappalli varies depending on the hospital and type of transplant (full thickness or partial thickness). However, it is generally affordable and covered by most insurance plans.
If you are considering a cornea transplant in Tiruchirappalli, you should consult with an experienced ophthalmologist to discuss your options and make sure you are making the best decision for your individual situation.
Causes Of Corneal Diseases
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are a number of types of corneal transplant surgeries that patients may choose from, depending on their specific needs. Some of the more common procedures include 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).
PK is a surgical procedure in which the donor cornea is cut into small pieces and then replaced in the patient’s eye. This method is usually used to treat severe cases of refractive error or diseases like cataracts. DSEK is a similar procedure, but it replaces the Descemet’s membrane instead of the cornea. DMEK is a technique that uses a small piece of donor cornea tissue to create a new Descemet’s membrane layer in the patient’s eye. DALK is similar to DMEK, but it also removes some of the underlying Bruch’s membrane. SALK is a less common procedure that uses a small piece of donor stroma to create a new Descemet’s membrane layer. Finally, an artificial cornea transplant (Keratoprosthesis) involves placing an artificial cornea over the damaged area in the patient’s eye.
