Revitalize Your Vision at ReFocus Eye Health

A pterygium, or "surfer’s eye," is a wing-shaped growth on the eye caused by UV exposure, often seen in people who spend a lot of time outdoors in sunny, dry climates. While it may start as a mild irritation or cosmetic concern, it can grow over the cornea, leading to discomfort, redness, and even vision problems.

When your cornea is damaged or diseased, a corneal transplant can restore your vision and improve your quality of life. Depending on the severity and location of the damage, different types of transplants are available:

• DSEK (or DSAEK): This procedure replaces the damaged inner layers of the cornea (endothelium) with healthy donor tissue, helping treat conditions like Fuchs' dystrophy with a minimally invasive approach.

• DMEK: A more delicate option, DMEK involves transplanting only the thin Descemet’s membrane and endothelium for even faster recovery and improved vision clarity.

• DALK (Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty): If the outer layers of your cornea are affected, such as with keratoconus, DALK replaces only the damaged front portions while preserving the healthy inner layers.

• Full Thickness Corneal Transplant (Penetrating Keratoplasty): For extensive damage involving all layers of the cornea, this procedure replaces the entire cornea with healthy donor tissue, ensuring a full restoration.

Each type of transplant is tailored to your unique needs, offering targeted care to restore your vision and get you back to seeing the world clearly.

This innovative cataract procedure uses a specialized intraocular lens (LAL) that can be fine-tuned after surgery using non-invasive light treatments, offering truly personalized vision correction.
