Abstract
PurposeTo describe a modified technique of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) assisted by diamond ophthalmic burr (DOB) in two patients with corneal stromal scarring.MethodsTwo patients with corneal stromal scarring underwent a modified DALK technique with corneal stromal polishing assisted by a DOB until the level of the Descemet membrane.ResultsThere were no intra- or postoperative complications. Six months postoperatively, the corneal graft was clear, while corrected distance visual acuity improved in both cases.ConclusionsBurr-assisted DALK seems to represent an alternative surgical technique in patients with corneal stromal scarring.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s40123-020-00248-8) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
