Abstract
The surgical technique of limbokeratoplasty (limbo-KP) was initially established for the treatment of severe limbal deficiencies. Besides improving visual acuity, surgery is aimed at ensuring complete, long-lasting epithelialization of the ocular surface. Due to the extension of the indication spectrum, limbo-KPs are also used in various forms of epithelial/stromal corneal dystrophies such as lattice and granular (transforming growth factor beta-induced [TGFBI] gene mutation associated) dystrophies. The objective of limbo-KP is to ensure prolonged clear graft survival without a recurrence of the dystrophy as otherwise observed after conventional keratoplasty.
