Get Precision Treatment for Corneal Health with FLEK

FLEK is a specialized procedure designed to address severe corneal endothelial diseases. By transplanting a full-thickness layer of corneal tissue, FLEK restores the eye’s natural function and clarity. Experience improved corneal health and vision with this advanced surgical option.

What Is FLEK?

FLEK or Full-Layer Endothelial Keratoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address severe corneal conditions affecting the innermost layer of the cornea, known as the endothelium. FLEK involves transplanting a full-thickness layer of donor corneal tissue to replace damaged or diseased endothelial cells. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with extensive endothelial damage who have not responded well to other forms of treatment. The primary goal of FLEK is to restore both the function and clarity of the cornea, providing a comprehensive solution for advanced corneal issues. This procedure is crucial for patients whose corneal health is severely compromised and who require a robust treatment option to improve their vision and quality of life.

How Does FLEK Work?

During the FLEK procedure, a full-thickness donor corneal tissue, including both the endothelium and a portion of the stroma, is carefully transplanted into the eye. The process begins with the removal of the damaged corneal layer from the patient’s eye. A meticulously prepared donor graft is then inserted and positioned to replace the damaged tissue. Advanced surgical techniques and precision tools are used to ensure accurate placement and optimal integration of the new graft with the existing corneal structures. Postoperatively, the graft is monitored closely to ensure proper healing and integration. The recovery period involves managing any discomfort and regular check-ups to assess the health of the graft and overall corneal function. This procedure aims to restore the cornea’s health and visual clarity, improving the patient’s overall vision and eye health.
