It occurs when the endothelial cells gradually deteriorate over time. Once lost, these endothelial cells do not grow back, leading to the clouding of the cornea, swelling and impaired vision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the early stages of the disease, patients experience increased glare and sensitivity to light. As the condition progresses, vision may become blurred in the morning, then sharpen throughout the day. As the condition worsens further, vision may appear blurry throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fuch&#8217;s corneal dystrophy affects both eyes and is slightly more common among women than men.

This is where we take the cells and implant them into the eye. We use two techniques, the descemet&#8217;s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) or descemet&#8217;s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the vision becomes severely impaired, a corneal transplant may be required.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-30f93349ef7b39256 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_30f93349ef7b39256\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"30f93349ef7b39256\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-788-1\" data-target=\"#30f93349ef7b39256\" href=\"#30f93349ef7b39256\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Corneal dystrophy<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"30f93349ef7b39256\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_30f93349ef7b39256\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is Corneal dystrophy?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Deposits of various materials within the cornea leads to irregularity in corneal surface and can result in a painful, watery eye from corneal erosions (scratches on the cornea). Sensitivity to light is also a major issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Children with corneal dystrophy may struggle to open their eyes in daylight and prefer to sit in the dark. Thye may also experience a lot of glare and halos around lights and objects. In severe cases, it might affect a child&#8217;s development and achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In adults, symptoms are more tolerable and often managed conservatively. However, if you progress and develop dense opacities that obscure vision, surgical intervention becomes necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Occasionally the corneal dystrophy is limited to the corneal surface, or it can be deeper in the cornea and lead to a loose corneal surface (skin). If the happens, the eye can become extremely painful.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>How do you treat\u00a0corneal dystrophy?<\/h4>\n<p>The management of corneal dystrophies depends on disease severity and which layer\/s of the cornea is affected.<\/p>\n<p>The treatment varies from no treatment required to conservative therapies such as using drops to aid cornea clarity, to surgical intervention. Corneal surgery will aim at replacing\/ removing the diseased part of the cornea.<\/p>\n<p>At Eye Clinic London, I use modern and advanced lasers to ablate the cornea and clear cornea scarring or other pathologies. This is a delicate and accurate therapy that is applicable where corneal dystrophy or scarring is superficial.<\/p>\n<p>Photo-therapeutic Keratectomy (PTK) is a known successful advanced treatment to treat corneal opacities and pathologies in the upper third part of the cornea. The lasers can precisely excise the lesions from the cornea. Furthermore, corneal transplantation could be required if the corneal pathology extends deeper in the cornea.<\/p>\n<p>We are pioneers in using advanced Femtosecond lasers to precisely cut the cornea and perform superficial or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. The procedures are known as Femtolaser enabled Superficial Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (Femto-SALK) or Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK). If the deepest layer \/ the lining of the cornea is involved then full thickness corneal transplantation (full thickness corneal graft or Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) will be required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-a82323ca8163dc6eb fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_a82323ca8163dc6eb\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"a82323ca8163dc6eb\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-788-1\" data-target=\"#a82323ca8163dc6eb\" href=\"#a82323ca8163dc6eb\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Recurrent corneal erosion \/ corneal abrasion<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"a82323ca8163dc6eb\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_a82323ca8163dc6eb\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is recurrent corneal erosion \/ corneal abrasion?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The thin layer that covers and protects the cornea is called the corneal epithelium. If the cornea is scratched, the eye becomes very red, watery, and painful but tends to heal within 24-48 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As the new epithelium grows, it should stick firmly to the corneal bed underneath it. Occasionally, the new epithelium does not stick very well. This could lead to weakly adherent and loose skin, which is disturbed if you rub your eyes or suffer from dry eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The condition can affect both adults and children. It can manifest in children as young as six months. Often it is secondary to congenital corneal dystrophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This condition occurs when the eye dries out overnight and is very dry in the morning. The eyelid can get stuck to the skin (corneal epithelium) and slough it away when you open your eyes in the morning. Other causes of recurrent corneal erosion syndrome include congenital corneal dystrophies and diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How do you treat corneal erosion \/ corneal abrasion?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Treatment varies from using artificial tears to hypertonic eye ointment to specialised contact lenses.

The two most common eye tumours in our clinics are squamous cell tumours and conjunctival melanomas. The first is more common than the second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Conjunctival melanomas present as brown lesions (occasionally colourless). They often appear on previous flat pigment lesions on the surface of the eye (primary acquired melanosis), or on a pre-existing &#8220;freckle&#8221; (conjunctival nevus).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An eye tumour could be congenital or acquired and can originate from any layer of ocular surface tissue. Squamous cell tumours are typically caused by sun damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At Eye Clinic London, we can tell the difference between a squamous cell tumour and a conjunctival melanoma by the way it looks. However, to be sure, the lesion must be removed and examined by a pathologist.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How do you treat an eye surface tumour?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Treatment of ocular surface tumours consists of surgical removal of the lesion with cryotherapy (freezing treatment) to the surrounding tissues with or without application of cytotoxic medicine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once the eye has healed from surgery, chemotherapy drops may be given to reduce the risk of recurrence of the tumour. Regular follow-up visits with your consultant at the Eye Clinic London are important to determine if the tumor has recurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-ac4b37cd939ffd4a0 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_ac4b37cd939ffd4a0\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ac4b37cd939ffd4a0\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-788-1\" data-target=\"#ac4b37cd939ffd4a0\" href=\"#ac4b37cd939ffd4a0\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Stem cell deficiency<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"ac4b37cd939ffd4a0\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_ac4b37cd939ffd4a0\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<h4>What is stem cell deficiency?<\/h4>\n<p>The surface of the cornea is a continuously regenerating surface that is replenished by stem cells. The stem cells are essential to keep the cornea clear and transparent. However, they are very sensitive to the environment and can be damaged by injury, inflammation and infection.<\/p>\n<p>If the stem cells do not replenish to cover the surface of the cornea, this can lead to ocular pain from corneal erosions and decreased vision from stromal scarring or epithelial irregularity.<\/p>\n<h4>What is stem cell deficiency treatment?<\/h4>\n<p>Treatment of stem cell damage can range from conservative treatment that aims to provide an optimal environment for the remaining survived stem cells. This will involve a wide range of eye products to protect, nourish, and promote healing.<\/p>\n<p>In severe cases, all stem cells can be lost, leading to total stem cell deficiency and loss of corneal clarity, i.e. loss of vision. In this case, stem cell transplantation (SCT) may be necessary to replace the dead stem cells with healthy ones and restore the ocular surface.<\/p>\n<p>Any attempt to restore vision by doing corneal transplantation will fail and lead to further complications. The primary treatment should be restoring a healthy eye surface by transplanting stem cells in the first instance. At a later stage and following the success of stem cell transplantation, corneal transplantation\/graft would be a good option to improve vision.<\/p>\n<p>The process of restoring the eye surface, comfort, and improvement of vision will take a long time and involve intensive treatments and multiple surgeries. Additionally, to maximise outcomes of SCT, we use amniotic membrane transplantation and eye surface optimisation protocol, which is unique to Eye Clinic London.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-1a33bb391d263e478 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_1a33bb391d263e478\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"1a33bb391d263e478\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-788-1\" data-target=\"#1a33bb391d263e478\" href=\"#1a33bb391d263e478\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What is a corneal transplant? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"1a33bb391d263e478\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_1a33bb391d263e478\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A cornea transplant is an operation to remove all or part of a damaged cornea and replace it with healthy donor tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A cornea transplant is often referred to as keratoplasty or a corneal graft. It can be used to improve sight, relieve pain and treat severe infection or damage. One of the most common reasons for a cornea transplant is a condition called keratoconus, which causes the cornea to change shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The type of cornea transplant you have will depend on which part of the cornea is damaged and how much of the cornea needs replacing. The options include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK) \u2013 a full-thickness transplant<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Superficial Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (SALK)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) \u2013 replacing the deeper (back) layers of the cornea<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A cornea transplant can be carried out under general or local anaesthetic. The procedure usually takes less than an hour and depending on your circumstances; you can either leave the hospital the same day or stay overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the procedure involves the transplantation of the outer cornea, the new outer cornea is held in place with stitches, which usually stay in for at least12 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An endothelial transplant doesn\u2019t require stitches. It\u2019s held in place by an air bubble until a few days later when it naturally sticks to the deep layer of the cornea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In most cases, a cornea transplant procedure lasts less than an hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>After a cornea transplant<\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The recovery time for a cornea transplant depends on the type of transplant you have. It takes about 18 months to enjoy the final results of a full-thickness transplant, although it\u2019s usually possible to provide glasses or a contact lens much earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Recovery is usually faster after replacing just the outer and middle layers (DALK). Endothelial transplants (EK) tend to have a faster recovery time of months or even weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s essential to take good care of your eye to improve your chances of a good recovery. You should not rub your eye and avoid activities such as contact sports and swimming until we tell you it\u2019s safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Are there any risks involved in cornea transplant surgery?<\/h4>\n<p>As with all types of surgery, there is a risk of complications. These can include the new cornea being rejected by the body, infection and further vision problems.<\/p>\n<p>Around 95% of full-thickness cornea transplants in low-risk conditions such as keratoconus, last a minimum of 10 years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-parallax-none nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-background-position:left top;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:7%;--awb-padding-bottom:7%;--awb-background-image:url(&quot;https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Promise-statement-of-value-Eye-Clinic-London-Samer-Hamada.jpg&quot;);--awb-background-size:cover;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first fusion-no-small-visibility\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% -

I appreciate that he asked questions about my whole diet and lifestyle which helped him to quickly figure out why my eye surface was inflamed. I now have simple steps I can take to reduce the inflammation through diet and lifestyle changes which I\u2019ve now been doing for 2 weeks. I also have been using the special non-preservative eye drops and gels that Mr Hamada provided. My eyes are already feeling so much better and I\u2019m so relieved to have had help to sort this out.
