THPK (THERAPEUTIC KERATOPLASTY)

---

Therapeutic Penetrating Keratoplasty (ThPK) at Arham Eye Hospital & Cornea Care Centre in Rajkot is an advanced emergency cornea transplant surgery performed to treat severe corneal infections, corneal perforations, and sight-threatening corneal diseases. Unlike routine corneal transplant procedures performed mainly to improve vision, ThPK is primarily done to control infection, preserve the eye structure, and prevent permanent eye damage.

What is Therapeutic Penetrating Keratoplasty?

Therapeutic Penetrating Keratoplasty is a full-thickness cornea transplant procedure in which the infected or damaged cornea is removed and replaced with healthy donor corneal tissue.
