Transpupillary keratophakia (TPK) is a refractive surgery that involves molding a clear plastic contact lens onto the cornea using focused light energy, reshaping the curvature of the eye and improving vision for people with certain refractive errors. This outpatient procedure can correct myopia up to -10 diopters and astigmatism up to 6 diopters, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to potential risks such as corneal swelling or infection.

Transterial Prokariote Keratoplasty (TRANsPK) is a corneal grafting technique using donor cells instead of whole tissue in the Netherlands. This method reduces the risk of rejection and vision loss.
Considered experimental and not widely available yet, but offers potential advantages over traditional corneal transplants.
