New technologies have made this an exciting time for corneal transplantation. Traditional corneal transplantation, known as Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK), is a highly refined procedure with positive overall outcomes. Traditional corneal transplantation techniques have evolved as well, allowing surgeons to provide even newer techniques, such as DSAEK, to patients with specific corneal needs.

The cornea is a remarkable structure that helps to focus light and protect the internal structures of your eye. The shape of the cornea is important to the focusing of light on the retina in the back of the eye. A properly shaped cornea and healthy lens will allow this light to focus clearly, providing crisp vision.
