Easy Bubble: Pachymetry-assisted Big-Bubble Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
We present a simple, effective and reproducible technique for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Using a diamond knife, set at 90% of corneal thickness (90 degrees meridian), at the limbus a radial incision was made and a corneal pocket was created. A specially designed cannula was placed deep into the corneal stroma and air was injected for stromal dissection. The air bubble pushed down Desc...

Stromal disease (ectasia, opacities, scars, or melting) that occurs after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) can variously affect visual outcome.1,2 To date, even in the presence of healthy endothelium, this typeof complicationhasbeen treatedwith subsequentPK.3 Instead, the selective replacement of the diseased stroma by means of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using pneumatic dissection ...

purpose : to review the visual outcome and complications of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk) using the big-bubble technique in patients with corneal ectasia methods : eighteen consecutive patients with keratoconus or post-lasik ectasia with poor spectacle-corrected visual acuity and/or contact lens intolerance were enrolled in this study between october 2005 and september 2006. dalk b...
متن کاملVisco-bubble technique for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty
METHODS: Design: Retrospective interventional case series. Study population: 21 eyes from 21 patients who underwent visco-bubble technique for DALK, which involves the injection of ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) into the deep stroma to form a visco-bubble to separate Descemet ́s membrane from the posterior stroma. Surgeries were performed between May 2010 and January 2013. Main outcome ...
