Deep Anterior lamellar Keratoplasty: In search of Holy Grail!
Deep Anterior lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) has become the corneal transplantation technique of choice for corneal diseases that spare the corneal endothelium. The major indications include keratoconus, stromal corneal dystrophies, corneal scars that spare the Descemet membrane (DM) and recalcitrant infectious keratitis. Unlike the old technique of penetrating/full thickness corneal transplantat...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Failure of Keratoplasty in Keratoconus: Penetrating vs. Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Purpose: To determine the etiologic factors on rejection and failure rates and ocular surface changes after corneal transplantation by either DALK or PKP, in cases of keratoconus (KCN). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, considering the existing data, patients with keratoconus referring to Labbafinejad Medical Center from 2006 to 2016, who underwent corneal transplantation, were enrolled a...
متن کاملManual Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Keratoplasty is considered the most successful organ transplantation procedure in the world. Reisinger was the first to use the term keratoplasty (Reisinger, 1824), when he suggested using an animal’s eye to provide donor corneal tissue for corneal transplantation in a human. In 1906, the first successful penetrating keratoplasty was performed by Edward Konrad Zirm on a patient suffering from b...
متن کاملNew technique of Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is a surgical technique for cornea replacement, which the healthy host corneal endothelium is preserved. Keratoconus patients are those who benefit most from a successful DALK procedure, once the endothelium of these patients is usually normal and should therefore be maintained. Several studies comparing visual outcomes between penetrating keratoplasty...
متن کامل[Contrast sensitivity in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty versus penetrating keratoplasty].
PURPOSE To compare the measurement of contrast sensitivity at a distance in patients submitted to penetrating keratoplasty versus patients submitted to deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus treatment. METHODS Contrast sensitivity of fourteen subjects submitted to penetrating keratoplasty and fourteen subjects submitted to deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty have been analyzed th...
