Abstract

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty is a partial thickness corneal graft technique void of endothelium. DALK technique offers several advantages over penetrating keratoplasty such as it being a partial thickness procedure, and decreased risk of endothelial graft rejection. DALK has shown similar VA outcomes when compared to PKP. Patients should have been evaluated and deemed appropriate for such surgical intervention. Patients should have been educated about the risks and benefits of the procedure, including alternatives.
