Know More About Procedure & Surgery

3. What is Corneal Transplant Surgery?

Corneal transplant surgery, also known as keratoplasty, is a procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with healthy donor tissue. The cornea is the clear, outer layer of the eye responsible for focusing light. Conditions like keratoconus, corneal scars, or infections can lead to vision loss, requiring a transplant.

Types of corneal transplant surgeries include:

Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK): Full-thickness cornea replacement.
Endothelial Keratoplasty (EK): Replacement of the innermost corneal layer.
Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK): Replacement of the outer corneal layers.
