Keratoplasty in New Al Shefa Clinic
About the clinic
Keratoplasty is a surgical procedure to replace part of the cornea with healthy tissue from a donor. At New Al Shefa Clinic in Dubai, UAE, patients can access various transplant methods tailored to their specific eye condition. The clinic is Quad-A accredited and brings over 25 years of experience in specialized eye care.
Treatment Methods and Precision
The clinic provides different types of corneal transplants depending on which layers of the eye are damaged. Specialists perform these procedures to treat clouding caused by disease, scars, infections, or chemical burns. Patients may receive one of the following treatments:
- Penetrating keratoplasty (PK) replaces the full thickness of the cornea.
- Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) replaces only the front and middle layers.
- Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) replaces the back layer of the cornea.
To remove diseased tissue, surgeons use a trephine or a femtosecond laser. The laser option allows for a bladeless and highly precise process. All donor tissue comes from a local eye bank to help restore vision effectively.
Recovery and Success
After the surgery, the new corneal tissue is held in place with very fine stitches. These sutures typically stay in the eye for a year or more. This long-term support helps the eye heal correctly and maintains the shape of the new cornea. The procedure helps patients suffering from severe swelling or thinning of the eye tissue.
