Advanced Cornea transplants and Comprehensive Eye Care at Yashoda Hospitals

Individuals with damaged corneas or corneal disorders often require corneoplasty to restore vision and alleviate discomfort. Corneal transplant surgery, also known as keratoplasty, involves replacing a portion of the cornea with donor tissue. This procedure helps restore clarity, reduce pain, and enhance the appearance of a diseased or injured cornea.
The cornea is essential for vision, contributing 65–75% of light refraction while acting as a protective barrier against foreign particles and UV radiation. Although it has a natural ability to heal, improper care can lead to scarring, infections, or vision impairment, making timely medical intervention crucial.

Yashoda Hospitals stands at the forefront of innovation and expertise in corneal transplantation. Our multidisciplinary team ensures a smooth patient journey, from diagnosis to recovery, through seamless coordination between specialists and support staff. With a high success rate in ocular surgeries, we are recognized among India’s leading hospitals, attracting patients from across the country and abroad for advanced eye care treatments.

Types of cornea transplants:

A cornea transplant involves removing the entire thickness or part of the diseased cornea and replacing it with healthy donor tissue. The cornea surgeon will choose the appropriate method, which may include:

  • Penetrating Keratoplasty: A full-thickness transplant where the surgeon removes a small disk of corneal tissue and replaces it with donor tissue, secured with stitches that may be removed later.
  • Endothelial Keratoplasty: This method involves the removal of diseased tissue from the back layers of the cornea, including the endothelium and Descemet membrane.
    Endothelial keratoplasty is further divided into two types:
    a) Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK): Replaces up to one-third of the cornea with donor tissue.
    b) Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK): Uses a thinner and more fragile layer of donor tissue, making the procedure more challenging but commonly performed.
  • Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK): This removes diseased tissue from the front corneal layers but leaves the back endothelial layer intact. 
  • Artificial Cornea Transplant (Keratoprosthesis): For patients not eligible for a donor cornea transplant, an artificial cornea may be implanted.

FAQ's

Approximately 90% of corneal transplant procedures are successful, though this can vary based on several factors, including the patient's general health.

Corneal transplantation helps restore vision lost due to corneal damage, but it might not be able to reverse blindness brought on by other factors, such as damage to the optic nerve.

The iris layer beneath the cornea is normally responsible for the color of the eye, so when corneal tissue, a transparent layer, is replaced during corneal transplantation, the patient does not experience any color change.
