Light up your life by corneal Transplant surgery

 Cornea is thin layer of layer of tissue in eye wfich helps in focusing the light. If the cornea is damaged, it is replaced with a healthy layer of tissue from a donor. Corneal transplant , also called as kertoplasty , is the surgery which can bring back vision and reduce pain.

A corneal transplant corrects several eye problems, including:
  • Cornea scarring because of an injury or an infection
  • Corneal ulcers or "sores" from an infection
  • Keratoconus – A condition in which cornea is bulged out.
  • Thinning, clouding, or swelling of the cornea
  • Genetic Eye diseases, such as Fuchs' dystrophy and others
  • Problems caused by an earlier eye operation

Full Thickness Corneal Transplant
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK), in which all the layers of your cornea are replaced.New cornea is sewed on to the eye using stitches thinner than hair. It is recommended for a severe cornea injury and requires a long healing time.

Partial Thickness Corneal Transplant

Technically called as Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), air is injected to lift off and separate the thin outside and thick middle layers of cornea, which is then replaced. The healing time is shorter than a full thickness transplant.
Endothelial Keratoplasty
Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK or DSAEK) is the most common type of endothelial keratoplasty.  The endothelium, a mere one cell thick, and the Descemet membrane just above it are removed in this procedure, which is then replaced.

Another variation, Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), transplants just the endothelium and Descemet membrane, no supporting stroma. The donor tissue is very thin and fragile, so it is harder to work with, but healing from this procedure is usually quicker.



Result

Complications in these surgery are very few, but being a surgery it has its own risks. Surgery is performed under a microscope and the procedure will be completed in 30 minutes. Post-surgery an eye patch is provided to limit the light entering during the initial stage.
