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.

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.
