Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty evaluation in patients with keratoconus

CONCLUSIONS: Although technically challenging with the risk of intraoperative Descemet's membrane perforation, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with air dissection technique presents as an option for keratoconus treatment. Confocal microsc opy demonstrated to be a useful method not only for the pachymetry measurement but also for the evaluation of interface by observing the absence of opacities in most of the cases.
