Modified deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty for the treatment of advanced keratoconus with steep corneal curvature to help in eliminating the wrinkles in the Descemet′s membrane

Abstract

This technique is effective in restoring acceptable vision and corneal regularity in advanced cases of keratoconus with a curvature more than 60 D who are also at risk of Descemet's membrane wrinkling after DALK. Therefore, this procedure could prevent from Descemet membrane wrinkling in such cases.
