A corneal transplant involves surgically removing a damaged or diseased cornea and replacing it with a healthy one obtained from an organ donor. The cornea, the transparent layer covering the front of the eye containing the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber, lacks blood vessels, making it susceptible to infections. It receives nourishment and protection from tears and aqueous humor, a fluid behind the cornea. As one of the most sensitive tissues in the body, the cornea is densely innervated with sensory nerve fibers. Diseases affecting the cornea are major contributors to blindness. At Abhinav Drishti Eye Care, we offer comprehensive resources and expertise for corneal treatment.
Corneal transplant surgery, also known as corneal grafting, involves replacing a damaged or opaque cornea with a clear, healthy one from a donor. This procedure, performed through either penetrating keratoplasty or lamellar keratoplasty, restores vision and improves eye health. At Abhinav Drishti Eye Clinic in Bangalore, we provide top-notch corneal transplant surgeries with the latest treatment approaches and comprehensive medication support.
Corneal ulcer is an open sore on a cornea, caused by infection, physical and chemical trauma, corneal drying, and overuse of contact lenses and so on. They can lead from partial to complete loss of vision. They look like a white or gray translucent spot on the cornea. Symptoms of Corneal Ulcer include:
The ophthalmologist will assess the type of corneal ulcer and prescribe medications accordingly. Treatment often involves anti-infective agents such as eye drops, ointments, and occasionally oral medications for viral infections. In severe cases, antibiotics and injections may be necessary. Contact lenses are prohibited, and adherence to medication is essential. If the ulcer persists despite treatment, surgical removal may be required. In extreme cases where the ulcer causes significant damage to the cornea, a surgical procedure known as Keratoplasty, or Corneal Transplant, is performed.
There are two main categories of Corneal Transplant
It is the traditional full thickness cornea transplant. The entire cornea is replaced in this surgery with a healthy cornea.
It is the back-layer Cornea transplant. In this procedure, only the diseased layer of the cornea is replaced, thus keeping the healthy areas intact.
Abhinav Drishti Eye Care Center provides highly professional and personalized best eye care services and treatment such as cataract eye surgery in Lucknow .
A cataract is a confused deposit on the natural lens of the eye, sometimes referred to as motiya bind. It obstructs vision, causing myopia, hazy vision, and in rare situations, momentary blindness. It is mostly observed in adults over 40, however cataracts can also be born in certain newborns
Cataracts typically appear in people over the age of 50. The clouding of the lens inside the eyes that results in visual loss is known medically as a cataract.Glasses, contact lenses, or corneal refractive surgery like LASIK cannot cure cataracts. In addition to age, a number of additional variables may contribute to the development of cataracts.
Common symptoms of cataract include-
The most advanced method of Cataract surgery is called Phacoemulsification. The surgery is safe and popular. Below are the various types of Cataract Eye Treatment:
Perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium totam rem aper i am eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas.
In this Surgery the Surgeon usually takes an hour and is done by giving anesthesia locally before making any incision. Less than 4mm three-minute incisions are made in the side of the cornea. Cataract is broken into small pieces before removal with the help of ultrasound and sucked out through a tube. An artificial lens, generally made of plastic, silicone or acrylic compounds is inserted in the place of the natural lens, which has been removed. As the artificial lens takes the position inside the eye, the surgery is completed as there is no need to close the incision, as it’s very minute and the patient can go home the same day.
Compared to phacoemulsification surgery, this treatment involves a bigger incision and a longer recuperation period. The patient is kept awake during the procedure and the eye region is made numb with the use of anesthetic. The doctor may more easily extract the patient's naturally hazy lens by breaking it into fragments since the incision is relatively large—about 12 mm on the side of the cornea. After that, an artificial lens is placed in its place to aid with eyesight. The wound is closed with sutures as it replaces the native lens. There's no need to remove the sutures because they heal on their own.
As the name suggests, there is no incision made. It’s computer-guided femtosecond laser which dissolves the cataract. It’s the evolution of the cataract surgery which eliminates human error and is faster than conventional ones. Optical coherence Tomograph is the machine used in which a detailed 3-D image of the eye is created, which helps to customize and precise surgery. The femtosecond laser cuts the cataract tissue and precision wise best method. As the surgery is technical and upgraded, the cost is almost double the conventional surgery.
