The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye. It protects the eye and helps focus light, contributing significantly to clear vision. Any damage, infection, or scarring in the cornea can reduce vision.

A corneal transplant is a surgery where a damaged or cloudy cornea is replaced with healthy donor corneal tissue. It is performed to restore vision, reduce pain, and improve corneal clarity when the cornea is severely diseased.

It may be needed for corneal scarring, advanced keratoconus, corneal swelling due to endothelial failure, non-healing corneal ulcers, corneal dystrophies, or severe infections and injuries that permanently affect corneal clarity.

DALK, DSAEK, and DMEK are modern layer-by-layer corneal transplant techniques. DALK replaces the front corneal layers, while DSAEK and DMEK replace the inner endothelial layer. These procedures often offer faster recovery and targeted treatment.

Keratoconus is when the cornea becomes thin and bulges outward, causing distorted vision. Treatment may include glasses, contact lenses, collagen cross-linking (C3R), and in advanced cases, corneal transplant.

C3R strengthens the cornea and slows or stops keratoconus progression. It helps preserve vision and may reduce the need for corneal transplant in many patients.

Amniotic membrane grafting uses a biological membrane to help heal the ocular surface. It is used for non-healing corneal ulcers, chemical injuries, severe inflammation, and surface disorders to reduce scarring and promote healing.

Recovery depends on the transplant type. Vision may improve in weeks, while full stabilization can take months. Regular follow-ups and strict use of prescribed drops are essential for best outcomes.

Symptoms include redness, pain, watering, light sensitivity, blurred vision, foreign body sensation, and persistent irritation. Sudden pain with reduced vision can be an emergency and needs urgent evaluation.
