Ocular surface diseases like chemical injury, severe dry eye, limbal stem cell deficiency are also treated with amniotic membrane transplantation and simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET).

Sutureless pterygium surgery with conjunctivo-limbal autograft with glue is also offered. This has the advantage of faster recovery after surgery and minimizes chances of recurrence after surgery.

Cornea Transplantation FAQs

Corneal transplantation or Keratoplasty is a surgical procedure where the diseased cornea of the patient is excised and replaced with the healthy cornea of a donor.

Penetrating Keratoplasty is the procedure where all the layers of the host cornea are excised and replaced with the donor cornea. Lamellar Keratoplasty is the procedure where only the diseased layers of the host cornea are removed and replaced with similar layers of the donor cornea.

Visual outcome after Keratoplasty varies from patient to patient. It mostly depends on what was the disease for which the surgery was performed and also on the status of the nerve of the eye.

Keratoplasty is a surgery which needs very careful management after surgery. Proper use of eye drops, regular doctor visits after surgery are as important as the actual surgery itself.
