2. Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL)
Riboflavin with UV light to strengthen corneal tissue, especially for keratoconus patients.

3. Medical and Adjunctive Therapies
Including antibiotics, antifungals, or immunomodulators, tailored to control corneal infections and inflammation.

 

Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) – Step by Step

Preoperative Preparation

• Comprehensive eye exam and systemic evaluation

• Corneal sizing to match donor graft

• Health checks: bloodwork, ECG, chest X-ray

• Adjust or discontinue certain medications (e.g., anticoagulants)

• Psychological readiness: consultation to address concerns

Surgical Procedure

• General or local anesthesia ensures comfort

• Damaged cornea excised in a circular pattern

• Donor cornea sutured in place with microsurgical precision

• Eye protected with medication and bandage post-surgery

Postoperative Care

• Adequate rest; avoid strenuous activities

• Strict adherence to prescribed eye drops and medications

• Regular follow-up visits for monitoring

• Recovery may take months to a year for graft stabilization

• Temporary use of glasses or contact lenses may be needed for optimal vision
