Lamellar Keratoplasty Introduction:

Lamellar Keratoplasty is a corneal transplant surgery performed to replace only the damaged layers of the cornea while preserving healthy corneal tissue. The procedure is used to improve vision and maintain more of the eye’s natural structure. It is commonly selected when full-thickness corneal replacement is not necessary. 

Selective Corneal Layer Replacement for Improved Visual Outcomes

This procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the surgical plan and patient condition. The eye and surrounding area are prepared using antiseptic solutions and covered with sterile Nivda Ophthalmic Drapes to maintain a protected operative environment. Specialized trephines, dissectors, and microsurgical instruments are used to precisely remove only the diseased corneal layers while preserving healthy tissue. Donor corneal tissue matching the required depth is prepared and carefully positioned over the treated area. Fine microsurgical sutures or advanced fixation techniques are used to secure the graft and promote stable healing. After confirming graft alignment and ocular integrity, sterile protective materials are applied to support recovery and reduce infection risk.
