Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital (SGVEH) provides advanced cornea care in Raipur including cornea transplant, endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/DSAEK, DMEK), lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), keratoconus management and C3R (corneal cross-linking). Patients visit SGVEH from across Chhattisgarh and Central India, including Korba, Champa, Jagdalpur, Dhamtari and nearby Odisha.
The cornea is the clear front window of the eye. When it becomes scarred, swollen, infected or misshapen, vision can reduce significantly. Modern cornea procedures—especially partial layer transplants like DSEK/DSAEK—can restore clarity and improve quality of life.
If you have severe pain, redness, sudden drop in vision, or white spot on the cornea, consult urgently—corneal ulcers can progress fast.
Dr. Amrita Mukherjee focuses on modern cornea care—especially corneal transplant planning and advanced techniques to restore corneal clarity. Her work has helped many patients regain vision through corneal transplantation and structured post-operative care.

Progressive cornea thinning and shape change. Managed with specialty lenses and C3R when suitable.
Redness, pain, watering and white spot. Requires urgent diagnosis and treatment to prevent scarring.
Scarring after infection/trauma can block vision. Transplant or lamellar procedures may restore clarity.
Blurred vision, morning haze. Often treated with endothelial transplant like DSEK/DSAEK or DMEK.
Corneal transplant replaces diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. Depending on the problem, transplant can be full-thickness or partial layer (lamellar).
DSEK/DSAEK is a modern partial-thickness transplant where the damaged inner corneal layer is replaced. It is commonly used for corneal swelling due to endothelial failure—often with faster rehabilitation and better corneal strength than older full-thickness methods.
DMEK replaces an even thinner inner layer. Suitable cases may experience excellent visual outcomes under expert planning.
DALK keeps the healthy inner layer and replaces the front corneal layers. Often used in keratoconus and selected corneal scars.
C3R aims to stabilize keratoconus progression by strengthening corneal collagen. It is often combined with specialty contact lens planning for best functional vision.
DSEK/DSAEK is an endothelial (inner-layer) corneal transplant used for corneal swelling due to endothelial failure. It replaces the damaged inner layer with donor tissue.
If corneal scarring, swelling or keratoconus has reduced vision significantly and glasses/contacts cannot help enough, transplant or lamellar procedures may be advised after evaluation.
Keratoconus is progressive cornea thinning/shape change. Early cases may benefit from glasses or specialty lenses. C3R helps stabilize progression; advanced cases may need DALK or transplant depending on corneal status.
Recovery varies by procedure type (DSEK/DSAEK vs DMEK vs full-thickness transplant). Follow-ups and medicines are essential for healing and vision stabilization.
