It is also home to a number of hospitals and medical facilities, making it an ideal place for a cornea transplant.The surgical procedure for a cornea transplant is called keratoplasty.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are a number of different types of corneal transplant surgeries, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK), Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK), Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) are all types of keratoprosthesis surgery.

PK is the most common type of keratoprosthesis surgery, and it involves removing the damaged layer of the cornea using a blunt instrument called a trephine. After the damaged layer is removed, a new implant is placed in its place. DSEK is similar to PK, but it uses a laser to remove the damaged layer of the cornea. DMEK also uses a laser to remove the damaged layer of the cornea, but it also includes an injection of doctor-made collagen fibers into the area that was removed. DALK is similar to DMEK, but it uses an incision below the eye instead of above it. SALK is a newer type of keratoprosthesis surgery that uses special tools to create small holes in the surface of the cornea. The holes are then filled with artificial tears, which help heal and protect the eye.
