Corneal Transplant with Advanced Techniques: When Do You Need It?

Corneal transplant is a surgical procedure used to treat corneal damage or disease that causes severe vision impairment. Dr. Mohamed Sobhy, a specialist in advanced eye surgeries, performs this procedure using cutting-edge techniques that ensure greater precision and faster recovery.

What Is a Corneal Transplant?

It is a procedure in which a damaged or opaque cornea is partially or fully replaced with a healthy donor cornea. The surgery helps restore clear vision and alleviate pain or swelling caused by corneal damage.

Conditions That Require Corneal Transplant

• Keratoconus

• Recurrent corneal infections

• Deep corneal injuries

• Corneal opacities due to inflammation or previous surgeries

Types of Corneal Transplants

• Full-thickness transplant (Penetrating Keratoplasty): Replaces all layers of the cornea.

• Partial-thickness transplant (DALK / DSAEK): Replaces only the affected layers.
  Dr. Mohamed Sobhy determines the most suitable technique based on each patient’s case.
