Endothelial keratoplasty

Endothelial keratoplasty is a specialized eye surgery that replaces the thin, inner layer of the cornea—the endothelium—when it becomes damaged or cloudy, impairing vision. The procedure involves removing the unhealthy cells and transplanting healthy donor tissue to restore clarity and proper fluid balance in the eye. This targeted approach offers quicker recovery and better visual outcomes compared to traditional corneal transplants, with fewer risks and less discomfort. It is commonly used to treat conditions like Fuchs' dystrophy and corneal edema, helping patients regain clear vision and improved eye health.
