About Cornea Transplant / Eye Cornea Replacement Surgery
(Ophthalmology)
Full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty replaces a damaged or opaque cornea with a healthy donor cornea to improve vision or treat severe corneal disease. Healic evaluates corneal clarity, infection status, eye pressure and retina health before transplant planning and long-term graft follow-up.
Patients commonly visit for severe corneal opacity or white scar, poor vision not corrected by glasses, painful or infected corneal ulcer scar. Our ophthalmology team checks causes such as keratoconus (progressive thinning of the cornea), corneal scarring from infections, corneal dystrophies (like fuchs' dystrophy) and explains suitable options including penetrating keratoplasty (pkp), lamellar keratoplasty (dalk / dsaek / dmek) with transparent pricing and follow-up support.

Surgical Methods at Healic
Understanding the type helps our specialists choose the safest, most effective treatment for your condition.
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP)
Full-thickness corneal transplant where the entire diseased cornea is replaced with a donor cornea — used for advanced scarring, perforation or failed previous grafts.
Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK / DSAEK / DMEK)
Layer-specific transplants (DALK, DSAEK, DMEK) where only the diseased layer is replaced — faster visual recovery, less rejection and stronger long-term outcomes.
Surgical Methods at Healic
Different patients need different approaches. Our surgeons choose the right method for your condition, age and recovery goals.
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) — Full-Thickness Transplant
Entire diseased cornea is replaced with a healthy donor cornea — gold standard for advanced scarring, corneal perforation, failed previous grafts and end-stage keratoconus.
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK)
Only the front layers of the cornea are replaced while preserving the patient's own healthy inner endothelium — virtually eliminates endothelial graft rejection; ideal for keratoconus and anterior scars.
Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK)
Only the diseased inner endothelial layer is replaced through a small incision — faster visual recovery and stronger eye than full-thickness transplant; used for Fuchs' dystrophy and bullous keratopathy.
Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK)
Ultra-thin replacement of just the Descemet's membrane and endothelium — gives the sharpest, near-natural vision with the lowest rejection rate among corneal transplants.
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Keratoplasty
Bladeless femtosecond laser creates precise, custom-shaped corneal cuts for the donor and recipient — better wound apposition, faster healing and reduced post-op astigmatism.
Therapeutic / Tectonic Keratoplasty
Emergency corneal transplant performed to control non-healing infection or seal a corneal perforation — restores structural integrity of the eye and saves vision in acute settings.
Keratoprosthesis (Artificial Cornea)
Synthetic cornea implanted in eyes with multiple failed grafts or severe ocular surface disease where a donor cornea will not survive — last-resort option to restore useful vision.
