What is a Cornea Transplant?
A cornea transplant—also known as keratoplasty—is a procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with healthy donor tissue. Depending on your specific condition, you may need a full-thickness corneal transplant (penetrating keratoplasty or PKP surgery) or a partial-thickness transplant such as lamellar keratoplasty, DSEK, or DMEK surgery.
At Paras Hospital, our corneal specialists will evaluate your case thoroughly to recommend the best transplant technique, ensuring optimal outcomes and quick recovery.
Conditions Treated with Corneal Transplant
You may be a candidate for a cornea transplant in Srinagar if you suffer from:
- Corneal scarring due to infections or injuries
- Keratoconus (progressive thinning of the cornea)
- Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy
- Bullous keratopathy
- Corneal ulcers or recurrent corneal infections
- Corneal opacity and vision loss
- Corneal edema (swelling)
- Corneal thinning or degeneration
- Failed previous corneal grafts
Our specialists perform thorough eye evaluations, including:
- Slit-lamp exam
- Visual acuity test
- Corneal topography
- Specular microscopy
- Corneal thickness test
These assessments help determine the most suitable transplant technique for you.
Types of Cornea Transplant Surgeries We Offer
At Paras Health, Srinagar, we provide all major types of corneal transplant surgeries:
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP surgery)
Also known as a full-thickness corneal transplant, this procedure replaces all layers of the damaged cornea. It’s often recommended for advanced cases of scarring or keratoconus.
Endothelial Keratoplasty
Used when only the innermost layer (endothelium) is damaged. We offer:
- DSEK surgery (Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty)
- DMEK surgery (Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty)
These are partial-thickness corneal transplants with quicker healing and lower rejection rates.
Lamellar Keratoplasty
This partial-thickness transplant involves removing only the affected layers, preserving the healthy corneal parts. It’s ideal for patients with localized damage.
Femtosecond Laser Cornea Surgery
We use femtosecond laser technology for enhanced precision and minimally invasive procedures, including sutureless cornea transplants.
What to Expect: Before, During & After the Surgery
Step 1: Eye Evaluation and Pre-Operative Assessment
Our specialists will conduct a thorough eye evaluation for transplant, checking corneal health, thickness, shape, and clarity. Based on the results, we will determine the type of keratoplasty needed.
Step 2: Surgery Planning and Counseling
We ensure you're fully informed about the transplant technique—be it penetrating keratoplasty, DSEK, DMEK, or lamellar keratoplasty. Our team will walk you through every detail—from procedure preparation to post-op care.
Step 3: Surgery and Post-Operative Care
Cornea transplant surgeries are performed under local or general anesthesia. Most patients can go home the same day. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing process.
