Abstract

This chapter explains key hole corneal transplant. As most of the referred cases of PBK have had cataract surgery with a temporal incision; the preferred approach is a superior limbal incision which allows one to operate in an untouched area with good self-sealing incision architecture. Corneoplastique is a contemporary superspecialty of refractive surgery in surgical ophthalmology, which makes Vision the endpoint of all eye surgery by intelligently manipulating the optical interplay of the components within the eye to finally shape the cornea (vision rehabilitative platform) by utilizing Laser Vision Surgery. Applying the 5S system one can correct or build the PBK cornea back to its normal anatomy and physiology. Shape is then achieved by applying Laser Vision Surgery in the form of surface ablation (PRK) for uncorrected emmetropia.
