Corneal Transplant

Patients with a damaged or diseased cornea can undergo keratoconus treatment here at Asian Eye Institute. We have specialists who can get the job done safely.

Corneal Transplant:
What You Need To Know About This Advanced Procedure

The cornea is the outermost transparent layer of the eye that is needed to focus light onto the retina. However, certain conditions compromise its functions, requiring medical intervention. Asian Eye Institute offers corneal transplant procedures to patients with a damaged cornea. Our doctors are skilled and experienced, so rest assured that they can help you.

Why Get Corneal Transplant

Also known as keratoplasty, a corneal transplant replaces a damaged or diseased cornea with another one from a donor. The procedure can restore clear vision, reduce eye pain, and improve the eye’s overall health. It can also address corneal tearing, scarring, and related conditions like keratoconus and Fuchs’ dystrophy.

What Happens During a Corneal Transplant Procedure?

Corneal transplants are performed by trained specialists. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged cornea and replaces it afterward. This may involve the entire cornea or just a specific portion or layer, depending on the condition being treated. The healthy donor cornea is sutured into place using advanced techniques.

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Doctors recommend regular comprehensive eye exams as these procedures help assess the overall health of your eyes and determine if there are problems that need to be addressed. These tests are necessary to evaluate if you need glasses or require prompt treatment for certain conditions that may worsen over time.

LASIK and Other Refractive Surgeries

Corneal Cross-linking

CXL is a preventative measure against the further thinning or bulging of the cornea due to certain diseases (like keratoconus) or other factors. The treatment is minimally invasive and is pivotal in maintaining the natural shape of the cornea. If it is successful, patients will no longer have to undergo corneal transplants.
