Abstract

Certain modifications in the conventional keratoplasty techniques are required, as the conventional technique may not yield optimal visual outcome in all cases of corneal opacities. Special techniques and modifications in the conventional corneal grafting surgery are indicated for various situations. These include tectonic patch grafts for selected cases of corneal perforations, keratolimbal grafts, sclerokeratoplasty and large diameter lamellar keratoplasty.
