DEEP ANTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY: A NEW MANUAL TECHNIQUE Rama et al report visual outcomes in 288 eyes undergoing deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with a new manual dissection technique. A deep corneal incision was obtained with a calibrated diamond knife to reach a pre-Descemet plane. At the 2-year postoperative follow-up, the mean logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best spectacle corrected visual acuity was 0.131±.087 and topographic astigmatism was 2.87±1.57 dioptres. Descemet membrane perforation required conversion to penetrating keratoplasty in 12 cases (4.2%). Lower optical coherence tomography (OCT) residue thickness was associated with higher acuity.

Definitive treatment for loss of corneal transparency or for corneal distortion is a corneal transplant. When the sight affecting pathology lies in the corneal stroma, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) allows retention of the healthy recipient endothelium and Descemet’s layer. The “Big Bubble” (BB) technique described by Mohamed Anwar is the most popular Descemet’s baring technique wor...

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...
