Innovative procedures to treat corneal diseases and improve vision without full transplantation.
Comprehensive treatment for corneal infections, injuries, and inflammatory conditions.
Our specialists perform the full spectrum of corneal transplant procedures, from traditional full-thickness transplants to the latest minimally invasive techniques.
The most advanced form of partial-thickness corneal transplantation that replaces only the innermost layers of the cornea.
DMEK replaces only the damaged endothelium and Descemet's membrane (10-15 microns thick) through a small incision. The ultra-thin donor tissue is positioned using an air bubble, providing the most anatomically precise replacement possible.
A partial-thickness corneal transplant procedure that replaces the damaged endothelium with a thin layer of donor tissue.
DSEK/DSAEK involves removing the diseased endothelium and replacing it with a thin donor disc of posterior stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium. The graft is typically 100-150 microns thick and is inserted through a small incision.
A specialized transplant procedure that replaces the front layers of the cornea while preserving the patient's own endothelium.
DALK removes the corneal epithelium and stroma down to Descemet's membrane, preserving the patient's healthy endothelium. Donor tissue consisting of epithelium and stroma is then sutured in place. The "big bubble" technique allows for precise separation of corneal layers.
Traditional full-thickness corneal transplant procedure for cases requiring complete replacement of all corneal layers.
PK involves removing a full-thickness button of the patient's cornea and replacing it with donor tissue that is sutured into place. While newer partialthickness techniques are preferred when possible, PK remains essential for certain conditions.
We utilize femtosecond laser-assisted PK when appropriate, which creates precise, customized incisions that promote better wound healing and potentially reduce astigmatism compared to traditional techniques.
Specialized procedure to restore the corneal surface in patients with limbal stem cell deficiency.
This procedure transplants healthy limbal stem cells to regenerate the corneal epithelium. Stem cells may be harvested from the patient's healthy eye (CLAU), from a living relative (lr-CLAL), or from cadaveric tissue (KLAL), depending on the extent and cause of deficiency.
Advanced surgical option for patients with severe corneal disease who are not candidates for traditional corneal transplantation.
A keratoprosthesis is an artificial cornea made of clear plastic with excellent tissue tolerance and optical properties. It is implanted to replace the central cornea when traditional transplants have failed or are likely to fail.
We replace only the diseased layers of the cornea whenever possible, preserving healthy tissue for better outcomes and faster recovery.
We utilize femtosecond laser technology, specialized instrumentation, and refined surgical techniques to optimize outcomes and minimize complications.
Our transplant program includes meticulous preoperative planning, expert surgical execution, and long-term post-operative care to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Our clinic maintains success rates that exceed national averages across all transplant types. Our DMEK procedures have a 98% success rate with clear corneas at one year, and our overall graft rejection rate is less than 5% across all procedures.
We offer innovative procedures to treat corneal diseases and improve vision, often avoiding or delaying the need for full transplantation.
FDA-approved procedure to strengthen the cornea and halt keratoconus progression by creating new bonds between collagen fibers.
The procedure combines riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops with controlled UV light exposure to create new crosslinks between collagen fibers, strengthening the cornea and preventing further bulging.
Micro-thin implants placed within the cornea to reshape its curvature and improve vision in keratoconus and other corneal irregularities.
Tiny, clear crescent-shaped segments are inserted into the corneal stroma through a small incision. These segments flatten the cone-shaped bulge, reducing irregular astigmatism and improving vision.
Therapeutic application of processed amniotic membrane to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and treat various corneal conditions.
Amniotic membrane contains natural growth factors, anti-inflammatory proteins, and structural components that promote healing without scarring. The membrane can be applied as a temporary biological bandage or permanent graft.
Advanced surgical removal of pterygia (abnormal tissue growth) with techniques to minimize recurrence and optimize cosmetic results.
We utilize advanced techniques including conjunctival autografting and amniotic membrane transplantation to achieve superior outcomes with minimal recurrence rates compared to traditional approaches.
Laser procedure that removes corneal opacities, smooths irregularities, and treats various corneal pathologies to improve vision and comfort.
PTK uses an excimer laser to precisely remove superficial corneal opacities and irregularities at the microscopic level. The procedure can be performed with or without masking agents to optimize smoothing of the corneal surface.
Advanced surface ablation procedure that uses detailed corneal mapping to treat irregular astigmatism and improve vision in patients with corneal irregularities.
Topography-guided PRK combines detailed corneal topography measurements with excimer laser technology to create a customized treatment plan that addresses both refractive errors and corneal irregularities. The epithelium is removed, and the laser reshapes the cornea according to the personalized map.
We provide comprehensive treatment for corneal infections, injuries, and inflammatory conditions with 24/7 emergency services for urgent cases.
Comprehensive management of infectious and noninfectious corneal ulcers to prevent vision loss and preserve corneal integrity.
We utilize advanced diagnostic techniques including corneal cultures, confocal microscopy, and PCR testing to identify the specific pathogen causing the ulcer, allowing for targeted treatment rather than broad-spectrum therapy.
Corneal ulcers are ocular emergencies that require immediate attention. Our clinic provides 24/7 emergency services for urgent cases, with specialists available for consultation and treatment.
Emergency surgical repair of corneal lacerations and perforations to restore corneal integrity and prevent complications.
We provide immediate evaluation and surgical intervention for corneal injuries, with the goal of preserving corneal integrity, preventing infection, and maintaining the best possible visual outcome. Our surgeons are available 24/7 for emergency repairs.
Specialized treatment for peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) and other inflammatory conditions affecting the corneal periphery.
We take a multidisciplinary approach to peripheral corneal ulcers, working closely with rheumatologists and immunologists to identify and treat underlying systemic conditions while providing specialized corneal care.
Specialized care for corneal manifestations of autoimmune and inflammatory systemic diseases.
We utilize a multidisciplinary approach, combining systemic immunomodulatory therapy with specialized ocular surface treatments to control inflammation, prevent progression, and restore corneal health.
Comprehensive treatment of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic corneal infections using targeted antimicrobial therapies.
We utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the specific pathogen causing your infection, allowing for targeted treatment rather than broad-spectrum therapy. This approach leads to faster resolution and reduced risk of antibiotic resistance.
Comprehensive management of dry eye syndrome and related ocular surface disorders that affect corneal health.
We utilize advanced diagnostic testing to identify the specific type and cause of your dry eye, allowing for targeted treatment of the underlying condition rather than just symptom management.
We also treat related conditions including exposure keratopathy, neurotrophic keratitis, and limbal stem cell deficiency that can affect the corneal surface.
Our clinic utilizes state-of-the-art technology to accurately diagnose corneal conditions and develop precise treatment plans.
Creates detailed 3D maps of the cornea's surface to detect irregularities, measure curvature, and evaluate thickness.
