To identify corneal abrasions, our cornea treatment expert may use a specialized eye drop containing fluorescein dye. This dye enhances the visibility of corneal scratches, making them easier to detect.
What are the treatment options for corneal conditions?
Treatment for corneal conditions varies based on the specific diagnosis:
Prescription
Medications
Many corneal conditions can be effectively managed with prescription eye drops or oral medications.
Laser (Phototherapeutic Keratectomy - PTK)
In cases of certain corneal dystrophies and related conditions, employing a laser-based procedure known as phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). PTK is used to reshape the cornea, eliminate scar tissue, and improve visual clarity.
Corneal
Transplant Surgery
When the damage to the cornea cannot be repaired, surgeons may opt for corneal transplant surgery. This involves the removal of the damaged section of the cornea, which is then replaced with healthy corneal tissue obtained from a donor. For more information on corneal transplants, please book your consultation appointment.
Artificial Cornea (Keratoprosthesis - KPro)
As an alternative to traditional corneal transplant surgery, some patients with damaged corneas may receive an artificial cornea, known as a keratoprosthesis (KPro).The choice of treatment depends on the specific condition and its severity.

Have questions about corneal transplant?
-
What occurs during a corneal transplant procedure?
During corneal transplant surgery, two primary surgeries are employed. The first technique, Penetrating Keratoplasty, entails the complete removal of the cornea and its replacement with a donor cornea. In the second technique, Lamellar Keratoplasty, selective removal of only a partial thickness of the cornea is then substituted with a corresponding portion of a donor cornea. These surgical procedures address various corneal conditions and improve vision or alleviate discomfort based on the patient's needs.
-
What are types of Corneal Transplant?
1. Whole Cornea Replacement: When the entire cornea is damaged and infected beyond repair, Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK) surgery is performed. Here, the entire cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea obtained by a donor. 2. Partial Cornea Replacement: When the inner or outer layer of the cornea is affected, and the rest of the cornea is healthy, Lamellar Keratoplasty (LK) surgery is recommended. Here, just that damaged part or only a partial thickness of the cornea is replaced with a donor cornea.

What are the benefits of Cornea Transplantation?
- Improved Vision: Corneal transplantation is great in improving vision in individuals with damaged or diseased corneas, allowing them to see more clearly and without discomfort.
- Relief from Pain and Discomfort: For those experiencing corneal conditions causing pain, discomfort, or light sensitivity, transplantation can provide relief and enhance their quality of life.
- Corneal Disease Treatment: Corneal transplants effectively treat various corneal conditions, including keratoconus, corneal scarring, corneal dystrophies, and more.
- Restoration of Corneal Clarity: Transplantation can restore the cornea's clarity, enabling better light transmission to the retina and improving vision.
- Strengthened Eye Structure: LK techniques, in particular, help maintain the structural integrity of the eye, which can be crucial in certain conditions where only specific layers of the cornea are affected.
- Potential for Contact Lens Wear: Successful corneal transplantation may enable contact lenses, which can be an option for some patients to achieve better vision.
- Enhanced Aesthetic Appearance: In cases where corneal conditions have led to a cloudy or irregular eye appearance, transplantation can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the eye.
-
What is the expected recovery time?
Corneal transplant surgery is typically conducted as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home on the same day. You won't be able to drive, so you should arrange for someone to provide transportation after the surgery.
A follow-up appointment is necessary the day following the surgery to monitor the healing progress of your eye.
Following the surgery, you must adhere to specific guidelines to support your eye's recovery:
- Use the prescribed special eye drops.
- Refrain from rubbing or applying pressure to your eye.
- Wear eyeglasses or a protective shield to safeguard your eye.
The duration of the recovery period can vary depending on the type of transplant, taking up to a year for complete recuperation. It's advisable to discuss with your doctor the timeline for resuming your regular activities.
-
When should you seek immediate medical attention?
Corneal rejection may manifest with symptoms such as eye pain, sensitivity to light, redness, or cloudy and hazy vision. If you experience any of these symptoms following a corneal transplant, promptly contact your eye doctor.
-
Are there any potential side effects?
Just like any surgical procedure, corneal transplant surgery carries certain risks. The primary risk is tissue rejection, wherein your body identifies the new cornea as foreign and initiates an immune response against it. Prescribed medications can mitigate this rejection and preserve the transplanted cornea.
Corneal transplant surgery may also lead to other ocular complications, including infection, bleeding from the eye, retinal detachment, and glaucoma. In severe cases of tissue rejection or other complications, a subsequent transplant may be necessary.
