Comparison of corneal densitometry between big-bubble and visco-bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
CONCLUSION: The use of viscoelastic substance in the VB-DALK technique may induce modification of interface stromal reflectivity resulting in reduced visual acuity up to 3 months postoperatively. However, this initial negative effect on the interface quality does not affect the long-term visual outcome, with densitometric values and visual outcomes similar in the two groups from 6 months postoperatively.
