Expert Corneal Surgery to Protect and Restore Your Vision with Cornea Surgery in Bellevue

Your cornea plays a critical role in clear vision, but conditions like keratoconus, Fuchs’ dystrophy, scarring, and thinning disorders can lead to blurry, distorted vision and discomfort. With modern corneal surgery techniques, patients can strengthen, repair, or replace damaged corneal tissue for improved vision and long-term eye health. At Bellevue Precision Vision, our expert cornea specialists offer the latest surgical solutions—from minimally invasive transplants to strengthening procedures like corneal cross-linking and CTAK—helping you achieve clearer, healthier vision with a customized treatment approach. If you’re seeking cornea surgery in the Seattle & Bellevue area, BPV is here to help.

What Is Cornea Surgery?

Cornea surgery in Seattle includes a variety of specialized procedures that repair, replace, or strengthen the cornea, addressing vision impairment caused by disease, injury, or degenerative conditions. The cornea is the transparent front layer of the eye, responsible for focusing light and ensuring sharp, distortion-free vision. When the cornea becomes damaged, weakened, or irregularly shaped, surgery may be needed to restore clarity and improve function.

At Bellevue Precision Vision, we provide a comprehensive range of corneal procedures, ensuring each patient receives the right treatment for their condition.

DMEK Corneal Transplant

Restore clear vision with DMEK in Seattle and Bellevue—an advanced, minimally invasive corneal transplant for Fuchs’ dystrophy and corneal disease, offering faster healing and better results.

DSEK Corneal Transplant

Enhance vision and corneal health with DSEK, a partial-thickness transplant that replaces damaged tissue while preserving more of your natural eye for quicker recovery.

Corneal Transplantation

Restore clear vision with a customized corneal transplant in Seattle and Bellevue, tailored for full or partial-thickness needs to enhance eye health and daily sight.

Corneal Cross-Linking

Strengthen and stabilize your vision with corneal cross-linking in Seattle and Bellevue, an advanced treatment that slows keratoconus progression.

Fuchs' Dystrophy Treatment

Restore clear vision from Fuchs’ dystrophy with specialized treatment in Seattle and Bellevue, improving corneal health for a sharper, more vibrant view.

Keratoconus Treatment

If your vision is becoming blurry or distorted, advanced keratoconus treatment in Seattle can help stabilize and sharpen your sight for clear, confident vision.

Recurrent Erosion Treatment

Break free from recurrent corneal erosions with advanced treatments like PTK, designed to heal, strengthen, and prevent future episodes.

Superficial Keratectomy

Improve vision clarity and corneal health with superficial keratectomy, a gentle procedure that removes damaged surface tissue for smoother, healthier eyes.

Types of Cornea Surgery We Offer

Keratoconus Treatment

Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge, distorting vision over time. We offer the following options:

Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL): A minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea and slows disease progression.
CTAK Procedure: Uses donor tissue to reinforce the cornea, improving stability and vision.
EVO ICL Surgery: An implantable contact lens option for keratoconus patients with high prescriptions.

Corneal Transplantation

For patients with severe corneal damage or disease, corneal transplantation replaces unhealthy tissue with a healthy donor cornea. Options include:

Full-Thickness Corneal Transplant: Replaces the entire cornea for severe damage or scarring.
Partial-Thickness Corneal Transplant DALK: A more precise approach for specific layers of the cornea, reducing healing time.

DSEK & DMEK Corneal Transplants

For patients with Fuchs’ dystrophy or endothelial disease, minimally invasive transplants offer faster healing and better vision.

DSEK (Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty): Replaces damaged endothelial cells while keeping most of the cornea intact.
DMEK (Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty): A thinner, more precise version of DSEK for sharper vision and quicker recovery.

Corneal Cross-Linking

Corneal cross-linking is a specialized treatment for keratoconus and corneal instability. It strengthens the cornea using UV light and riboflavin drops to prevent further deterioration.

Superficial Keratectomy

This procedure removes irregular corneal tissue, scarring, or Salzmann’s nodules, smoothing the cornea and improving vision clarity.

Recurrent Corneal Erosion Treatment

For patients experiencing painful corneal erosions, treatment options like laser PTK (phototherapeutic keratectomy) or superficial keratectomy help heal and reinforce the corneal surface.

Fuchs’ Dystrophy Treatment

A progressive condition causing cloudy, swollen vision, Fuchs’ dystrophy is treated with specialized transplants (DMEK/DSEK) or medical therapy to restore corneal clarity.

CTAK Procedure

This innovative technique reinforces and stabilizes the cornea, offering a promising new treatment option for keratoconus and corneal thinning disorders.
