Influence of Graft–Host Interface on the Quality of Vision After Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty in Patients With Keratoconus

Abstract

In selected patients, quality of vision after DALK was comparable to that after PK when stromal excision was extended to the DM and inferior to vision after PK when layers of stroma were left adherent to the DM. Advances in DALK technique are required to allow easier and repeatable baring of the DM.
