Abstract
To present a case in which bilateral microkeratome-assisted contralateral anterior lamellar corneal autografting was used in the treatment of a patient with a stromal scar in one eye and dense amblyopia in the fellow eye. Case report based on chart review. Anterior lamellar flaps were created in both eyes with a microkeratome. Six weeks later, central trephination through both flaps was performed, and the resulting corneal discs were switched. Visual acuity improved to 20/30 in the nonamblyopic eye 1 year after the surgery. Microkeratome-assisted contralateral lamellar autokeratoplasty can be useful in the treatment of an anterior stromal scar when the fellow eye has a clear cornea and poor vision limited by untreatable noncorneal pathology.
