👁️ Cornea Transplant (Keratoplasty)

Restore Your Vision with Expert Corneal Care

🧠 What is a Cornea Transplant?

A cornea transplant (also called keratoplasty) is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy corneal tissue from a donor. The cornea is the eye’s transparent outermost layer that focuses light for clear vision.

✔️ When is a Cornea Transplant Needed?

Corneal damage can cause blurred vision, pain, or even blindness. Conditions that may require a transplant include:

✔️ Keratoconus – thinning and bulging of the cornea
✔️ Fuchs’ dystrophy – corneal endothelial cell loss
✔️ Corneal scarring – from infections or injuries
✔️ Corneal ulcers or swelling
✔️ Failed previous corneal surgery
✔️ Hereditary corneal diseases

 

🔍 Types of Cornea Transplants

✔️ 1. Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK)

• Full-thickness cornea transplant
• Used for severe corneal damage
• Longer recovery but highly effective
•  

✔️ 2. Endothelial Keratoplasty (EK)

• Partial-thickness transplant replacing inner corneal layers
• Includes DSEK and DMEK techniques
• Less invasive, faster recovery
•  

✔️ 3. Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK/DALK)

• Replaces outer and middle layers only
• Used in keratoconus or superficial scars
•  

✔️ 4. Artificial Cornea (Keratoprosthesis)

• Used when traditional transplants fail
• Often a last-resort option
•  

🛠️ How is the Procedure Done?

✔️ Outpatient surgery (usually under local anesthesia)
✔️ Damaged corneal tissue is removed and replaced with donor tissue
✔️ The new cornea is secured with very fine stitches
✔️ Procedure takes 30–90 minutes depending on the type

 

🕒 Recovery and Aftercare

✔️ Use of steroid and antibiotic eye drops for several months
✔️ Regular follow-up visits for monitoring
✔️ Vision gradually improves over weeks or months
✔️ Stitches may be removed months after surgery
✔️ Avoid heavy lifting and eye rubbing

 

🚫 Risks and Complications

✔️ Infection or inflammation
✔️ Graft rejection (5–30% risk depending on type)
✔️ Increased eye pressure (glaucoma)
✔️ Blurred vision or astigmatism
✔️ Need for glasses or contact lenses after healing
