A Quick Surgical Technique for Deep, Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty Using Visco-dissection

Abstract

Using visco-dissection, a lamellar keratoplasty can be performed quickly, with the donor-to-recipient interface just above the recipient DM, i.e., with a nearly perfect anatomical replacement of all corneal stroma. There is substantial risk of rupture or microperforation of DM during surgery.
