Corneal Transplant in Gurgaon

When the cornea becomes too scarred, clouded or thin for other treatments to help, a corneal transplant can restore clear vision. At Dayal Eye Centre, our cornea surgeon performs modern, layer-specific transplants — DALK, DSEK and DMEK — that replace only the diseased part of the cornea, as well as full-thickness transplant (penetrating keratoplasty) for advanced damage.

Overview

What Is a Corneal Transplant, and Who Needs One?

A corneal transplant (keratoplasty) replaces damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. Modern surgery often replaces only the affected layer rather than the whole cornea, which speeds healing and reduces the risk of rejection.

You may need a transplant if you have advanced keratoconus, significant corneal scarring (from infection or injury), a corneal dystrophy that clouds vision, or a cornea that has failed after previous surgery — and other treatments can no longer restore useful vision.

You may be a candidate if you have:
 Advanced keratoconus that glasses, lenses or cross-linking can no longer correct.
 Significant corneal scarring from a past infection or injury.
 A corneal dystrophy that clouds vision and limits daily life.
 A cornea that has failed after previous eye surgery.
Surgical Options

What Are the Types of Corneal Transplant?

We match the technique to your diagnosis — replacing only the layer that needs it wherever possible.

TypeWhat it replacesBest for
DALKFront & middle layers (keeps your inner layer)Keratoconus, front-layer scarring
DSEK / DMEKOnly the inner (endothelial) layerEndothelial failure, Fuchs’ dystrophy
Penetrating keratoplasty (PK)The full thickness of the corneaAdvanced scarring or full-thickness damage

Recovery and vision improvement vary by type — endothelial transplants (DSEK/DMEK) often recover faster, while full-thickness transplants heal over many months.

Individual results vary and every transplant carries a risk of rejection, which is managed with drops and monitoring. Suitability depends on a detailed examination and donor-tissue availability. Consult with our doctors.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Corneal transplantation is one of the most successful transplant surgeries, particularly modern layer-specific techniques (DSEK/DMEK/DALK) which have lower rejection risk. Success depends on the reason for surgery and your eye’s overall health, which we assess beforehand.

The surgery is done under anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during it. Afterwards there is usually mild discomfort and light sensitivity for a few days, managed with drops. Vision recovers gradually over weeks to months depending on the type.

Rejection is possible but often treatable if caught early, which is why follow-up and anti-rejection drops matter. Layer-specific transplants (DMEK/DSEK) have lower rejection rates than full-thickness transplants. Report any redness, pain or drop in vision promptly.

It depends on the type — endothelial transplants (DSEK/DMEK) often give quicker visual recovery, while full-thickness (PK) can take many months and the stitches may stay in for a long time. We guide you through each stage.

It is usually medically necessary and often covered, subject to your policy; donor-tissue charges may apply. We offer cashless options, government schemes and Easy EMI, and help with pre-authorisation.
