Corneal transplant is a surgery to replace the part of a patient’s corneal tissue with a donor’s one. A donor is a deceased person. The cornea has no blood vessels, so the blood group of a donor is not essential.

Artificial replacement or keratoprosthesis is another type of corneal transplant. In this case, surgeons use eye implants. The procedure is prescribed for those patients who have had the failure of a donor corneal tissue.

Corneal transplant is performed at Spreebogen Eye Hospital. The Clinic is one of the best corneal transplant hospitals in Berlin, Germany.

Spreebogen Hospital includes specialized laboratories. Specialists analyze the donated corneal tissues to minimize the risk of rejection. The Clinic cooperates with the corneal banks in Munchen (Germany) and San Diego (the USA). The banks guarantee the high grafts quality.

Eye surgeons perform lamellar keratoplasty if the corneal forepart is damaged. The operation is minimally invasive. It excludes the rejection risk.

Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) is used in cases of the cornea sublayer injuries. Eye doctors carry out the surgery without saturation. It fastens the recovery period after the corneal transplant.
