Anterior Approach Keratoplasty • LK • DLK • PK
Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasy(ALK) manual dissection techniques Microkeratome Assisted Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty Laser Assisted Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasy (DALK) Deep stromal manual dissection techniques Dry stromal layer-by-layer manual dissection Air guided deep stromal dissection Deep intracorneal dissection Descemet’s membrane baring techniques
Descemet’s membrane baring techniques Big-Bubble technique Viscoelastic dissection technique Descemet’s membrane dyeing technique
Indications • The big Bubble technique is only used for conditions where the endothelium is healtly and there are no previous breaks in the DM. the goal is to expose DM. the following are the indications. • Corneal ectatic disorders: a. keratoconus b. Pellucid marginal degeneration c. keratoglobus d. keratectasia following refractive surgery (lASIK,PRK ) 2. Stromal opacities and scars sparing DM. 3. Corneal dystrophies of anterior/ deeper stroma.
contra-indication Diseased endothelial cells Previous rupture in DM (hydrops) Deep scars, however small, involving D.M Macular corneal dystrophy is a relative contra-indication because the DM is usually fragile.
