When the whole cornea is not diseased we may even replace the diseased layer only. This is called lamellar corneal transplant surgery. We perform all types of advanced lamellar corneal surgeries like DSAEK and DALK
for patients who have hazy corneas after chemical injuries, Thermal injuries , and other reasons for limbal stem cell deficiency
We perform this procedure to slow down disease process and provide more comfort to patients of SJS /TEN syndrome patient
