Cornea Transplant Surgery

Cornea Transplant Surgery

Cornea Transplant Surgery, medically termed keratoplasty, is a transformative procedure aimed at restoring vision by replacing a damaged or diseased cornea—the transparent, dome-shaped outer layer of the eye. This surgical intervention becomes necessary when the cornea is scarred, distorted, or affected by conditions like keratoconus, injury, infections, or corneal dystrophies, leading to impaired vision or blindness. The surgery involves removing the impaired portion of the cornea and replacing it with a healthy donor cornea obtained from a deceased individual. There are different types of corneal transplants, including full thickness (penetrating keratoplasty) and partial thickness (lamellar keratoplasty), each catering to specific conditions and depths of corneal damage. Before the surgery, meticulous evaluation of the recipient's eye health and suitability for transplantation is conducted. Post-surgery, patients undergo a period of recovery, requiring close monitoring to prevent rejection or complications. Immunosuppressive medications are often prescribed to reduce the risk of rejection. Successful cornea transplants can significantly improve vision, alleviating symptoms like blurry vision, glare, and discomfort. However, full visual recovery may take several months as the eye heals and adjusts to the new cornea. Despite risks, corneal transplant surgery stands as a remarkable procedure, offering renewed hope and vision to individuals affected by severe corneal disorders.
