What is Corneal Transplantation?
Specialized Corneal Care with Advanced Surgical Techniques, Precise Tissue Replacement, & Comprehensive Vision Restoration in Siliguri.
Corneal transplantation, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged, diseased or scarred cornea is replaced with healthy donor corneal tissue. It is recommended when the cornea becomes cloudy, distorted or severely damaged due to infections, injuries, degenerative conditions or inherited disorders.
Corneal problems may cause symptoms such as blurred vision, light sensitivity, eye pain, redness, excessive watering or difficulty seeing clearly. Depending on the extent of damage, these conditions can significantly affect visual clarity and everyday activities.
At Siliguri Greater Lions Eye Hospital, our Corneal Transplantation services focus on treating complex corneal conditions through appropriate surgical techniques to improve visual function and maintain eye health.
The process begins with a comprehensive eye examination to assess corneal damage, thickness, shape and overall ocular health. Based on the findings, our ophthalmologists determine the most suitable transplant approach, which may include full-thickness or partial-thickness transplantation, followed by careful post-operative monitoring and care to support healing and visual recovery.
