A corneal transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a specialized surgical procedure essential for restoring vision when the cornea is damaged or diseased beyond repair. This intricate operation involves replacing the damaged cornea with a healthy one from a donor. Common reasons for this procedure include corneal injuries, keratoconus, and various corneal dystrophies that impair vision. During surgery, the surgeon carefully removes the damaged portion of the cornea and replaces it with the donor tissue, stitching it securely into place. There are different types of corneal transplants depending on the extent of damage and the layers affected. Following surgery, patients require meticulous care and medication to prevent rejection of the donor tissue and to facilitate proper healing. Successful corneal transplants can significantly enhance visual clarity and quality of life for individuals suffering from severe corneal conditions, offering renewed hope for improved vision.
Objective: To compare the outcomes of eye-bank precut versus surgeon-cut tissue graft for patients undergoing Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK). Methods: A systematic…
