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
This is a type of eye surgery that focuses on the innermost layer of the cornea, called the endothelium. This procedure is typically used to treat corneal swelling or other issues affecting this layer.
During surgery, the damaged endothelium is removed and replaced with healthy donor tissue. This is less invasive than traditional methods, often leading to quicker recovery times and better vision.
Penetrating Keratoplasty
This is a more extensive surgery where the entire thickness of the cornea is replaced. This procedure is used for severe corneal damage or disease.
The damaged cornea is removed, and a full-thickness donor cornea is stitched in place. While recovery can take longer, this surgery can significantly improve vision for those with serious corneal issues.
