Ocular Surface Reconstruction

Why It's Done

Ocular surface reconstruction is performed to restore the integrity and function of the ocular surface (cornea and conjunctiva) for patients with conditions like severe dry eye, corneal ulcers, or chemical burns that compromise ocular health and vision.

Procedure Explanation

Ocular surface reconstruction involves techniques to repair or replace damaged corneal or conjunctival tissue, restore tear film stability, and promote ocular surface healing. Procedures may include amniotic membrane transplantation, limbal stem cell transplantation, or conjunctival grafting, depending on the underlying condition.

Step-by-Step

Pre-operative assessment: The surgeon evaluates the extent and severity of ocular surface damage and develops a personalized treatment plan.
Anesthesia administration: Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Surgical intervention: The surgeon performs the necessary tissue repair or transplantation procedures to reconstruct the ocular surface and promote healing.
Post-operative care: Patients receive instructions for post-operative eye care, including medications, bandage contact lenses, and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and visual outcomes.

Insurance and Empanelment

Ocular surface reconstruction is covered by insurance for medically necessary procedures to restore ocular health and vision. Patients should confirm coverage and financial responsibilities with our billing department.

We accept most insurance plans and are empanelled with CGHS and ECHS for eligible patients undergoing ocular surface reconstruction. Patients are encouraged to verify insurance coverage and empanelment status in advance.
