Corneal Transplant Surgery
Corneal transplant surgery, also known as keratoplasty, is a procedure performed to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy donor cornea. This surgery is recommended for patients suffering from corneal scarring, keratoconus, corneal infections, or dystrophies that impair vision. At Desai Eye Hospital, we offer advanced corneal transplantation techniques to restore clarity, comfort, and improved sight.
Depending on the condition, different types of corneal transplants may be performed, including full-thickness (penetrating keratoplasty) or partial-thickness (lamellar keratoplasty) procedures. The goal is to improve vision, reduce pain, and enhance eye health for long-term benefits.
With latest surgical techniques and expert post-operative care, Desai Eye Hospital ensures optimal visual outcomes and faster recovery for patients undergoing corneal transplants.
How Does It Work?
