Corneal Surgeries and Transplants
The cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye, is essential for focusing light and achieving clear vision. Damage or diseases affecting the cornea can cause severe visual impairment or even blindness. At Netra Eye Care, we specialize in advanced corneal surgeries and transplants, providing patients with the highest quality care and the latest surgical techniques to restore vision and improve quality of life.
Types of Corneal Surgeries We Offer
Corneal Transplantation (Keratoplasty)
- Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK): A full-thickness corneal transplant replacing the entire damaged cornea with a healthy donor cornea.
- Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK/DSEK/DMEK): Partial-thickness transplants replacing only the affected corneal layers, preserving healthy tissue for quicker recovery and fewer complications.
Corneal Cross-Linking
- A minimally invasive procedure used to treat keratoconus by strengthening the corneal structure and halting progression.
Amniotic Membrane Transplantation
- Used for severe corneal injuries or infections, this technique involves grafting a biological membrane to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
Pterygium Excision
- Surgical removal of abnormal tissue growth on the cornea, restoring vision and cosmetic appearance.
Refractive Corneal Surgeries
- Advanced techniques for reshaping the cornea to correct refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Conditions Treated with Corneal Surgery
- Corneal scarring or clouding caused by infections, injuries, or dystrophies.
- Keratoconus or other degenerative corneal conditions.
- Corneal edema or swelling due to endothelial cell dysfunction.
- Pterygium (benign growth on the cornea).
- Severe dry eye or chemical injuries requiring transplantation.
