Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Tumkur
Keratoplasty, or corneal transplant, is a procedure that restores vision by replacing the damaged or diseased cornea with an artificial copy. This surgery can be performed on either the front or back of the eye.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing keratoplasty surgery, including age, health history, and other medical conditions. In Tumkur, surgeons at Mantracare offer a range of keratoplasty procedures, including femtosecond laser assisted keratomileusis (LASIK), radial keratotomy (RK), and toric keratoplasty.
The success rate for keratoplasty is high, with most patients seeing improved vision after surgery. If you are considering this procedure and would like more information about its benefits and risks, please contact Mantracare in Tumkur.
Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries
There are many 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 types of artificial cornea transplants.
PK is the most common type of artificial cornea transplant, and it is typically used when there is a significant loss of vision due to an advanced stage of keratoconus. DSEK and DSAEK are similar procedures, but DSAEK involves removing a small amount of the donor cornea’s outermost layer, called the epithelium, which helps to prevent rejection. DMEK is a more recent technique that uses a mesh-like device to support the donor tissue during surgery. SALK is a less invasive version of DALK that uses only a small incision on the frontoplastics instead of taking out the entire graft. Finally, artificial cornea transplants are also available in different sizes and shapes. Smaller artificial corneas are used for people with smaller eyes, while larger ones are better suited for those with bigger eyes.

Happy Patients from Tumkur after Corneal Transplant / Keratoplasty
” I have had preexisting health conditions for the past few years, and due to my condition; I underwent corneal transplant surgery. The entire process was quite easy, but when it came to the recovery period I needed a lot of help. MantraCare was there with me throughout the duration of my post-surgery recovery. They were so caring and understanding, which made things much easier.”
