Todani Eye Center offers many types of cornea surgery, with some of the most common including: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) DMEK is a type of partial cornea transplant that treats conditions involving swelling in the endothelium (the innermost layer of the cornea). Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy is a common example of a condition treated with DMEK. In the DMEK procedure, your surgeon replaces the endothelium using donor tissue. This allows your cornea to function normally again. Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK)
DSAEK, like DMEK, is a partial cornea transplant. The difference between the two procedures is that DSAEK also transfers stroma, a connective tissue in the eye. So, DSAEK transplants are thicker than DMEK transplants. Pterygium surgery In pterygium surgery, your surgeon removes the growth from your eye. Todani Eye Center uses the most advanced pterygium surgery methods to minimize the chances of pterygium regrowth. Tarsorrhaphy Tarsorrhaphy is a procedure to connect the top and bottom eyelids. This partly or totally closes the eye, which may be necessary for healing.
There are also a variety of minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedures for cornea problems, such as collagen cross-linking. In the collagen cross-linking procedure, your provider uses special eye drops and ultraviolet light to strengthen your corneas. This procedure can help to prevent the progression of keratoconus.
