Corneal Transplant Surgery in Pune (PK, DALK, DSEK)
Corneal transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure used to replace damaged or diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue to restore vision and improve eye health.
At Aapulki Eye Care, we provide specialised corneal transplant procedures based on the condition and depth of corneal damage, ensuring the most suitable and effective treatment for each patient.
What is Corneal Transplant Surgery?
The cornea is the clear front layer of the eye that helps focus light for clear vision. When the cornea becomes damaged, swollen, or scarred, vision can become blurred or distorted.
A corneal transplant replaces the affected part of the cornea with healthy donor tissue to:
- Restore vision
- Reduce discomfort
- Improve clarity and eye health
Types of Corneal Transplant Procedures
Different types of corneal transplants are performed depending on which layer of the cornea is affected.
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK)
A full-thickness corneal transplant where the entire damaged cornea is replaced with donor tissue.
- Used for severe corneal damage or full-thickness scars
- Suitable for advanced conditions affecting all layers
- Provides significant vision improvement in complex cases
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK)
A partial-thickness transplant where only the front layers of the cornea are replaced while preserving the inner layer.
- Commonly used for keratoconus and corneal scars
- Lower risk of rejection as inner layer is preserved
- Faster healing compared to full transplant
Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK)
A modern partial transplant procedure that replaces only the inner layer of the cornea.
- Used for conditions affecting the cornea’s inner layer
- Minimally invasive technique
- Faster recovery and better comfort after surgery
When is Corneal Transplant Needed?
Corneal transplant may be recommended in cases such as:
- Keratoconus (bulging cornea)
- Corneal scarring due to infection or injury
- Corneal ulcers not responding to treatment
- Swelling or thinning of the cornea
- Vision loss due to corneal diseases
