PEDIGREE OF LAMELLAR CATARACT

Deep lamellar keratoplasty combined with cataract surgery.

We used a surgical technique that combines deep lamellar keratoplasty, phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation for treating patients with cataract and corneal stromal disease. Deep lamellar dissection of the cornea was first performed with viscoelastic substances (hyaluronate sodium) until the highly transparent Descemet membrane solely remained. We then created a short corneal t...
