Standardized ‘no‐touch’ donor tissue preparation for DALK and DMEK: harvesting undamaged anterior and posterior transplants from the same donor cornea

Abstract

The new technique offers the following advantages: (i) production of 'undamaged' grafts for DALK and DMEK, (ii) better controlled tissue handling of the thin DM graft during DM stripping and (iii) an increase in availability of corneal grafts obtained from the same donor tissue pool.
