Verified review.

Rude staff. And the trip turned out to be in vain. So much time, effort and money was spent. Documents were preliminarily sent, and extracts available at that time, treatment passed, etc. They invited me to the examination and obtain a preliminary treatment plan, although it was clear to the provided procurers that treatment was impossible. They did the same thing that they had sent earlier, shrugged their hands and said Excuse me, we can’t help ...

Our Corneal transplant Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Corneal transplant, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Corneal Cross Linking (CCL) (One eye)

This procedure strengthens the cornea by using ultraviolet light and riboflavin drops to halt the progression of keratoconus.

Pros: Stabilizes keratoconus in 90% of cases without needing a corneal graft. Less invasive than keratoplasty with faster recovery.

Cons: May not improve vision significantly. Potential for temporary discomfort and light sensitivity post-procedure.

Effectiveness: 90% stabilization rate.

Duration: 1-2 hours.

Recovery: 1-2 weeks.

Best for: Early-stage keratoconus or corneal ectasia. Suitable for patients with less than 400 microns corneal thickness.

Keratoplasty

Keratoplasty involves replacing damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor corneal tissue to restore vision.

Pros: High success rate of about 90% for vision restoration. Effective for severe corneal diseases and injuries that other treatments cannot address.

Cons: Requires a donor match, which might take time. Potential risk of rejection and need for long-term medication.

Effectiveness: 90% success in achieving significant vision improvement.

Duration: 1-2 hours.

Recovery: 6-12 months for full recovery.

Best for: Severe corneal diseases, corneal scarring, and vision loss cases. Suitable for patients with significant corneal damage.

Corneal ring implantation

A minimally invasive procedure where small, crescent-shaped rings are inserted into the cornea to improve vision by reshaping it.

Pros: Minimally invasive with a quick recovery time. Effective in halting keratoconus progression in 85% of cases. No need for donor tissue.

Cons: Not suitable for severe cases with significant corneal thinning. Potential for ring displacement or glare in 5% of patients.

Effectiveness: Success rate of improving vision by at least 2 lines on the vision chart in 80% of patients.

Duration: 1-2 hours.

Recovery: 1-2 days.

Best for: Mild to moderate keratoconus and astigmatism. Suitable for patients not eligible for corneal cross-linking.
