Advanced Cornea Care and Treatment

Cornea Treatment at Kenia Eye Hospital

The cornea is the transparent front layer of the eye. It helps focus light and is essential for clear vision. Corneal damage, infection, swelling, or thinning can affect sight and needs timely specialist evaluation.

Kenia Eye Hospital offers advanced diagnosis and treatment for corneal diseases in Mumbai. Our specialists manage keratoconus, corneal scars, infections, Fuchs' dystrophy, corneal edema, dry eye disease, post-LASIK complications, and failed grafts.

Care is planned around the affected corneal layer and the patient's visual needs. When transplant surgery is required, treatment options include modern procedures such as DMEK, DSEK, and penetrating keratoplasty.

Common corneal disorders we treat

• Keratoconus: Progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea that can cause distorted or blurred vision.
• Corneal infection or keratitis: Infection that can lead to pain, redness, discharge, and vision changes.
• Corneal scarring: Opacity after injury, infection, or prior disease that blocks clear vision.
• Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy: Endothelial weakness that can make the cornea swollen and cloudy.
• Corneal edema: Swelling of the cornea that may cause haze, glare, and reduced vision.
• Dry eye and ocular surface disease: Tear film and surface problems that may cause irritation and fluctuating vision.

Advanced corneal transplant procedures

DMEK Surgery (Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty)

DMEK is one of the most advanced forms of partial-thickness corneal transplant surgery used to treat endothelial disorders such as Fuchs' dystrophy and corneal edema.

Benefits of DMEK:

• Faster visual recovery.
• Better visual quality.
• Minimal surgical incision.
• Lower rejection rates.
• Faster healing compared to traditional transplant.

DMEK replaces only the damaged inner corneal layer while preserving healthy tissue.

DSEK / DSAEK Surgery

DSEK (Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty) is another advanced lamellar corneal transplant procedure commonly performed for corneal swelling and endothelial dysfunction.

Advantages of DSEK:

• Smaller incision surgery.
• Improved safety profile.
• Reduced sutures.
• Faster recovery than full-thickness transplant.
• Suitable for many endothelial corneal disorders.

Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK)

Penetrating Keratoplasty, commonly known as full-thickness corneal transplant surgery, involves replacing the entire damaged cornea with healthy donor tissue.

PK may be recommended for:

• Severe corneal scarring.
• Advanced keratoconus.
• Corneal perforation.
• Failed previous grafts.
• Deep corneal infections.

Our cornea surgeons use advanced microsurgical techniques for improved graft survival and visual rehabilitation.

Other cornea treatments available

• C3R or corneal collagen cross-linking.
• Pterygium surgery.
• Corneal ulcer treatment.
• Amniotic membrane transplantation.
• Dry eye management.
• Bandage contact lens therapy.
• Foreign body removal.
• Ocular surface reconstruction.
• Specialty contact lens clinic support.

Symptoms of corneal disease

• Blurred or distorted vision.
• Eye pain, redness, watering, or discharge.
• Sensitivity to light.
• Sudden decrease in vision.
• Frequent spectacle power changes.
• Glare, halos, irritation, or foreign body sensation.
