Keratoplasty Layer-through

Layer-through keratoplasty: A revolutionary approach to corneal restoration

In modern medicine, considerable attention is paid to the development and improvement of methods for restoring the cornea, one of the key structures of the eye. One of the innovative procedures that is attracting more and more attention from specialists is layer-through keratoplasty. This method is an advanced approach to corneal tissue replacement, in which all layers of the cornea are replaced in the central part of the cornea, and only the superficial layers in other parts of the cornea are replaced.

Layer-through keratoplasty is an effective solution for patients suffering from various corneal diseases, such as keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, scarring and others. Unlike traditional total keratoplasty, in which the entire volume of the cornea is replaced with donor tissue, layer-by-layer keratoplasty allows you to more accurately restore damaged layers of the cornea and preserve healthy areas.

The lamellar keratoplasty procedure is performed using carefully selected donor tissue, which ensures optimal compatibility and minimizes the risk of rejection. Surgery is performed using microsurgical instruments and modern methods such as laser technology. As a result of the procedure, the patient is able to restore visual functions and improve the quality of life.

The main advantages of layer-by-layer keratoplasty are the accuracy of restoration of the corneal structure, improved visual function, lower likelihood of complications and faster recovery after surgery. Patients who have undergone this procedure report significant improvement in vision, reduced discomfort and increased quality of life.

Layer-through keratoplasty is the result of many years of research and innovation in the field of ophthalmology. However, like any other surgical procedure, it has its risks and limitations. Therefore, before performing the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and evaluate the indications and contraindications.

In conclusion, lamellar penetrating keratoplasty is an innovative corneal repair method that can accurately and effectively restore damaged corneal layers and improve visual function in patients with various corneal diseases. Thanks to improved technology and developments in ophthalmic surgery, patients are able to return to a full life and enjoy clear vision. However, the decision to perform layer-through keratoplasty should be made after consultation with an experienced physician and taking into account the individual characteristics of each patient.

We hope that further research and development in the field of layer-through keratoplasty will lead to even greater progress in the treatment of corneal diseases and improve the quality of life of people suffering from these conditions.



Keratoplasty (from the ancient Greek κέρας - horn, horny and πλάστω - I form) is a surgical operation to restore the integrity and shape of the cornea of ​​the eye. For example, clouding, formation of a cataract, thinning of its tissues. This is one of the most common operations in ophthalmology. Treatment of corneal damage is carried out using a special surgical method called reconstructive keratoplasty. Any reconstructive correction of a corneal defect is carried out after its partial or complete destruction as a result of chemical or mechanical trauma.
