Cornea surgery

Find the right treatment for you

The cornea is the protective surface of the eye and repairing damage or disease requires specialist surgery.

Endothelial keratoplasty

Advanced surgery for corneal health. Endothelial Keratoplasty is a specialised type of eye surgery that targets the innermost layer of the cornea, known as the endothelium. This procedure is typically performed to treat corneal swelling or other issues affecting this crucial layer of the eye. During Endothelial Keratoplasty, the damaged endothelial tissue is carefully removed and replaced with healthy donor tissue. This method is less invasive than traditional corneal surgery, often resulting in quicker recovery times and improved visual outcomes for patients. If you’re experiencing problems with your corneal health, Endothelial Keratoplasty is an effective solution to consider.

Penetrating keratoplasty

Comprehensive surgery for severe corneal issues. Penetrating Keratoplasty is a more extensive surgical procedure that involves replacing the entire thickness of the cornea. This method is typically indicated for patients with severe corneal damage or disease. During Penetrating Keratoplasty, the damaged cornea is carefully removed, and a full-thickness donor cornea is stitched into place. While the recovery period may take longer compared to less invasive options, this surgery can significantly enhance vision for individuals suffering from serious corneal problems. If you are experiencing severe corneal issues, Penetrating Keratoplasty can be an effective solution to consider for restoring your vision.
