Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
(DALK)

At Dr. Zaid Ali’s Clinic, we offer Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), an advanced surgical technique for treating corneal diseases that do not affect the inner layers of the cornea, such as keratoconus or corneal scars that impact only the front layers.

How Does This Technique Work?

DALK involves removing the diseased layer of the cornea and replacing it with a healthy layer from a donor, without disturbing the inner layers of the cornea. This technique reduces the risk of rejection that can occur with full-thickness corneal transplants and enhances the chances of recovery and vision restoration.

Benefits of DALK

• Reduced Risk: Lower risk of rejection compared to full-thickness corneal transplants.
• Preserves Inner Layers: The inner layer of the cornea is preserved, aiding in faster recovery.
• Improved Vision: Provides significant vision improvements for patients with corneal irregularities.
• Precise Procedure: Uses advanced techniques to ensure precise transplantation and minimize surgical intervention.
