Use of viscoelastic substance for preventing Descemet's membrane rupture in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 84 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of using a viscoelastic substance in Descemet's membrane rupture in "double bubble" deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Methods: The medical records and videos of surgeries of 40 patients who underwent surgery between January 2014 and July 2...

Novel spatula and dissector for safer deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 73 (5), 2014
Objective: We describe a novel spatula and dissector to facilitate the big-bubble technique in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Methods: A 29-year-old man who was diagnosed with bilateral keratoconus underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). After 350μm partial thickness incis...

Analysis of low-energy and high-frequency femtosecond laser for the construction of deep anterior donor corneal lamellae

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 73 (2), 2014
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and reliability of a low-energy femtosecond laser with a high repetition rate for construction of deep anterior donor corneal lamellae. Methods: This was a prospective laboratory investigation. Twenty-five human corneal buttons were femtosecond laser cut to create thick ...
