The cornea plays a vital role in focusing light and maintaining clear vision. When the cornea becomes damaged or diseased due to infection, injury, scarring, or degenerative conditions, vision can be significantly affected. Dr. Niket Gandhi, an experienced Ophthalmologist and Cornea Specialist, offers advanced corneal transplant surgery to restore vision and improve eye health.
Corneal transplant surgery involves replacing the damaged or diseased corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue. Dr. Gandhi specializes in modern, precision-based transplant techniques that focus on faster recovery, improved visual outcomes, and long-term graft success.
Dr. Niket Gandhi, an experienced Ophthalmologist and Cornea Specialist, provides advanced corneal transplant surgery using state-of-the-art techniques designed to improve visual clarity and overall eye function. His approach focuses on precision, safety, and individualized care, ensuring that each patient receives the most suitable treatment based on their specific corneal condition.
Corneal transplant surgery involves replacing diseased or damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor tissue to restore transparency and vision.

Dr. Niket Gandhi performs various types of corneal transplant procedures depending on the patientโs condition, including:
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK): Full-thickness corneal transplant
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK): Partial-thickness transplant preserving inner corneal layers
Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK / DMEK): Targeted replacement of the corneal endothelium
These advanced techniques help minimize complications and improve visual recovery.

Yes. When performed by an experienced cornea specialist like Dr. Niket Gandhi using modern techniques, corneal transplant surgery is safe and effective.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia and is painless. Mild discomfort may be experienced during recovery, which is managed with medication.
Recovery varies by procedure type. Vision improves gradually over weeks to months, with regular follow-ups to monitor healing.
There is a small risk of graft rejection, but early detection and proper medication significantly reduce this risk.
Many patients experience significant improvement in vision, though results depend on the underlying eye condition and post-operative care.
