Corneal blindness caused by trauma, infectious keratitis, chemical injury, or genetic dystrophies like Fuchs' dystrophy can only be resolved by replacing the scarred, opaque tissue with a healthy, transparent donor cornea. Dr. Shoukat’s hospital is an officially recognized, Government-Certified Eye Bank and Eye Transplant Centre in Mumbai.

Donor tissue safety and viability are governed by stringent regulatory standards. In-house Specular Microscopy is utilized to examine endothelial cell count, density, and morphology to ensure donor tissue longevity prior to transplantation.

Dr. Shoukat Ali Shaikh performs both full-thickness Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK) and selective lamellar keratoplasties. By replacing only the diseased layers while preserving healthy host tissue, surgical healing is accelerated and graft rejection risk is substantially minimized.

Patients receive attentive post-operative immunomodulatory regimens, regular slit-lamp reviews, and selective suture removal to optimize optical curvature and maximize visual recovery.

Through community eye banking initiatives and world-class surgical skill, Dr. Shoukat has restored sight to hundreds of visually impaired individuals who had lost all functional vision.
