Optical Penetrating Keratoplasty Surgery In India
Explain Optical Penetrating Keratoplasty
If a patient suffers poor vision or chronic pain from a corneal condition, disease, or injury, they are likely a good candidate for a corneal transplant. Because penetrating keratoplasty involves a complete transplant of the cornea, it is often the best treatment option for those with more severe corneal disease.
Optical Penetrating Keratoplasty In Details
Corneal diseases are one of the major causes of
blindness and visual impairment in developing
countries. Corneal transplantation, also known as
corneal grafting or penetrating keratoplasty, is a surgical
procedure where a damaged or diseased cornea is
replaced by donated corneal tissue which has been
removed from a recently deceased individual having
no known diseases which might affect the viability of
the donated tissue.
Although newer modalities of keratoplasty have come
into play but penetrating keratoplasty (PK) still remains
the gold standard in corneal conditions involving full
thickness of the cornea. Corneal transplantation has
two major types, penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and
lamellar keratoplasty (LK). The term penetrating
keratoplasty (PK) commonly refers to surgical
replacement of a portion of the cornea with that of a
donor eye. Lamellar keratoplasty surgery consists of placing a partial thickness donor corneal graft in a recipient corneal bed that is prepared by lamellar dissection of diseased anterior stoma corneal tissue.
