Overview
Advanced corneal transplantation procedures — including DALK, DSEK/DMEK, and full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty — to restore vision lost to corneal disease, injury, or dystrophy. India and Turkey offer highly skilled corneal specialists with short waiting times for donor tissue and costs 60–70% below Western prices.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

Frequently asked questions
Recovery depends heavily on the type of transplant. Endothelial procedures (DSEK/DMEK) typically offer faster recovery — many patients see significant improvement within 1–3 months. Full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty takes longer, with best-corrected vision often not achieved for 12–18 months due to suture-induced astigmatism. DALK falls between these timelines. The initial recovery period requiring close monitoring is 2–3 weeks, after which you can return home with a detailed protocol for your local ophthalmologist, including suture removal timing and rejection surveillance.
