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.

CORNEA TRANSPLANT IN DELHI

Cornea is the clear front pat of eye that covers the anterior chamber, iris and pupil.

What is Corneal Transplant ?

Corneal Transplant or corneal grafting is a surgical process where the affected cornea is replaced by corneal tissue entirely or partially. Normally the graft would be taken from recently died person with no diseases or other factors that may cause the visibility of the recipient. The cornea transplant is otherwise known as keratoplasty.

A cornea transplant can bring back vision, reduce pain and increase the appearance of cornea.

Purpose of corneal transplant

Corneal Transplant is performed to get back the vision of a person who has damaged cornea. One may get releived from pain and other factors that is associated with the corneal diseases.

The other conditions that can be treated with this transplant includes:

    Thinning of cornea.
    Scarring of Cornea caused by infection or injury
    Swelling and clouding of Cornea.
    Ulcers caused by infection.

Risks with Corneal Transplant.

Though corneal transplant is a safe process some risks are involved in it.

Some risks are:

    Eye infection
    clouding of eye lens
    swelling of the cornea.
    Bleeding
    Allergic reactions
    Types of corneal Transplant.

Penetrating Keratoplasty: A traditional full thickness transplant that includes the surgical removal of the two thirds of damaged cornea. The damaged area is replaced with clear healthy donor tissue which is placed by sutures.

It will take a year or more for the visual recovery since the corneal surface may be irregular after the surgery. In that case a contact lens may be required for the clearest vision.

Those who have undergone with a full thickness graft should be careful to avoid any injury that could break open the smaller opening.

Lamellar keratoplasty (Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty)

Instead of replacing the affected cornea, Lamellar keratoplasty replaces only the affected part with the donor graft. Lamellar keratoplasty keeps descemet’s membrane and the endothelium.

Laser Eye Surgery - Best Option for Corneal Disorders

Cornea is the eye's upper most layer that covers coloured iris and round pupil. Cornea has an important role in clear vision.

Corneal disorders refers to various conditions that affect cornea. If the cornea becomes affected with disease it will result in scars or discolouration that interfere the vision by blocking the light that enters the eye.

Cornea has the ability to heal itself most of the diseases and if it is affected with deep injury the healing process might take long time to heal possibly resulting in a variety of symptoms like blurred vision, redness and corneal scarring

Corneal ulcers

Corneal ulcer is an abrasion or open sore in the upper layer of cornea and is often caused by infections from bacteria, viruses or fungi. Common symptoms of corneal ulcer are red eye, sever pain, swollen eyelids, blurry vision etc..It would be better to seek the medical care when there is change in vision and severe pain.

Treatment for corneal infections depends on the cause and should be started soon to prevent the scarring of cornea.

Corneal injuries

An injury to cornea is usually known as corneal injury. This may be caused by chemical irritation, overuse of contact lenses, reaction to contact lens solutions and scratches on the surface of cornea.

Slight injuries and abrasions to cornea are common though chemical burns may affect the cornea severely.

If cornea is badly affected by chemicals or foreign agents, It is best to seek a medical treatment without delay.

Corneal dystrophies

Corneal dystrophies are categories of inherited, non -inflammatory, bilateral disorders of cornea distinguished by corneal deposition and morphological changes. The diseased state associated with corneal dystrophies varies widely and if there is continuous accumulation of deposits in cornea, it may lose its clarity that results in the decreased vision.

Treatments for this disorder may include eye drops, lasers, ointments and corneal transplant. Corneal transplant or keratoplasty may be necessary for individuals with significant symptoms of Corneal dystrophies.

Corneal Allergies

Allergies affecting the eyes are common and the most allergies are related to pollen, contact lens wear, medications and foreign agents. The common symptoms include redness, itchiness, watery discharge and burning.

Allergies can cause painful inflammation which may reduce vision, produce corneal discharges and erode the cornea.

Neera eye centre provides treatments for all corneal disorders that includes infections, injuries, corneal dystrophies allergies etc..

Although LASIK is the best-known procedure that helps patients who suffer from corneal disorders, there are many other types of eye surgery (PRK, LASEK, ALK, and LTK) and before deciding for a particular procedure, the patient must first consult an ophthalmologist in order to choose the appropriate treatment for his or her pathology.

Corneal Transplant--For a Better Vision

The cornea is the front window of the eye that covers the colored iris and round, dark pupil. Light is focused while passing through the cornea, allowing us to see. The cornea is the clear part at the front of the eye that’s responsible.  A healthy, clear cornea is necessary for good vision. The cornea is the clear part at the front of the eye that’s responsible for transmission of light into the eye. A cornea transplant is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor, when is affected with cornea problems. 

Various corneal disease, which affect the health of the cornea and cause a reduction in vision can be treated with corneal transplants, including:

   
·         Scarred cornea
·         swelling of the cornea
·         Cornea infection often caused by wearing contact lenses
·         Complications caused by past eye surgeries or previous corneal transplant

Corneal Disease

If your cornea is injured or affected by disease, it may become swollen or scarred, and its smoothness and clarity may be lost. Cornea transplant is necessary, to remove damaged or unhealthy cornea tissue with a new one. A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea. A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. Most cornea transplant procedures are successful.

In a corneal transplant, the cloudy or warped cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea. If the new cornea heals without problems, there may be tremendous improvement in vision. Most common complication of a corneal transplant is a very high and irregular corneal astigmatism which can significantly limit the vision with and without glasses.

Other complications include:

·        -- post-operative leakage

·        -- rejection of the donor cornea

·         --graft failure and infection.
