Penetrating Keratoplasty replaces the entire thickness of the cornea — the right choice for deep central scarring, severe infectious sequelae, advanced keratoconus with central thinning, and failed prior grafts. We do PKP only when DALK or DMEK aren't feasible. From $2,800 with internationally certified donor tissue.
