Abstract

Corneal transplantation surgery has undergone a paradigm shift from conventional full thickness transplantation procedures to lamellar surgery to selective replacement of the diseased layer of the cornea only. Anterior lamellar procedures, conventional manual ALK surgery, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), microkeratome assisted ALK, femtosecond laser assisted ALK, advantages of anterior lamellar procedures, and so on are discussed. Posterior lamellar keratoplasty (PLK), Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), artificial anterior chambers (AAC), Bausch and Lomb AAC, coronet artificial anterior chamber (AAC), and so on are described. Trephines and punches used in lamellar surgeries, Coronet punch and trephines, instruments for lamellar dissection, corneal dissectors, instruments for Descemet’s membrane scoring, Busin Forceps, femtosecond laser in lamellar keratoplasty, wound configurations, and so on are explained.
