The pre-Descemet's layer/Dua's layer, also termed the Dua-Fine layer and the pre-posterior
limiting lamina layer, lies anterior to the Descemet's membrane in the cornea, is 10 μm …

Lamellar keratoplasty (LK) has revolutionized corneal graft surgery in several ways. Deep
anterior LK (DALK) has eliminated risk of failure due to endothelial rejection. Endothelial …

The cornea is the main refracting lens in the eye. As part of the outer tunic it has to be
resilient, a property conferred by the organisation of the constituent collagen. It also has to …

Purpose To review and highlight important practical aspects of deep anterior lamellar
keratoplasty (DALK) surgery and provide some useful tips for surgeons wishing to convert to …

Even after a successful corneal transplant, patients experience severe refractive errors,
impeding their rehabilitation and satisfaction. Refractive errors can be caused by recipient …

We read with interest the paper by Anwar et al. 1 The authors have described a technique to
bare Descemet's membrane (DM) by multiple lamellar dissection of the deep corneal stroma …

Purpose: To visualize in vivo and quantify the thickness of the posterior corneal layers: the
acellular pre-Descemet's layer (PDL), Descemet's membrane (DM), and endothelium (END) …

Purpose The main objective of this work is to present an updated review of the different
surgical procedures for the correction of residual refractive errors following deep anterior …

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is the ideal surgery for corneal stromal diseases
with a healthy endothelium. This technique offers substantial advantages compared with …

Purpose To design and produce a clamp that enables good handling of donor sclera-
corneal disks, allows air to be injected in the corneal stroma and consistently provides pre …
