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 replacement is performed at the Eye Center in Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Ophthalmologic surgeon carries out cornea transplant procedure.

Bumrungrad eye doctors conduct Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) and Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK).

Specialists offer DALK for partial transplantation of corneal stroma. The procedure excludes the graft rejection risks.

Eye doctors use DSEK to remove damaged endothelium from the central part of patient’s cornea. During the procedure, eye surgeons make 2 small incisions. It is safer than the traditional corneal transplant.

Corneal transplant surgery lasts for 1-2 hours. During the operation, a patient is under general anesthesia.
