Corneal Transplantation
The cornea is the clear, transparent front layer of the eye that plays a vital role in focusing vision. When the cornea becomes damaged, scarred, or cloudy due to disease, infection, injury, or degeneration, it can lead to significant visual impairment.
Corneal transplantation is a surgical procedure in which the damaged or diseased cornea is replaced with healthy donor tissue to restore clarity and improve vision. Under the expert care of Dr. Pratik Bhadra, corneal transplant procedures are performed using modern techniques with a strong focus on safety, precision, and visual rehabilitation.
Conditions That May Require Corneal Transplant
- Keratoconus
- Corneal scarring due to infection or injury
- Corneal dystrophies
- Failed previous corneal surgery
- Corneal swelling or opacity
Improved Vision
Replacing the damaged cornea helps restore transparency and significantly improves visual clarity.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Both full-thickness and selective (layer-by-layer) corneal transplant procedures are performed as needed.
