Keratoplasty, also known as corneal transplant surgery, is a procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with healthy donor corneal tissue to restore vision, relieve pain, and improve the appearance of a scarred or cloudy cornea. It is often needed for conditions such as corneal scarring, keratoconus, severe infections, or corneal dystrophies. The surgery can be full-thickness (penetrating keratoplasty) or partial-thickness (lamellar keratoplasty), depending on the extent of the damage. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we perform keratoplasty using advanced microsurgical techniques to ensure better graft survival, faster recovery, and improved vision outcomes.
When the cornea is damaged, scarred, or swollen and vision cannot be improved with glasses or lenses.
No, it is done under local or general anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure.
Initial recovery takes a few weeks, but full healing can take several months.
Vision improves significantly, but glasses or contact lenses may still be needed for best results.
Yes, but with proper medication and follow-up care, the risk can be minimized.
