Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in the management of keratoconus

Advanced cases of keratoconus often require surgical intervention to restore corneal anatomy and improve eyesight. Penetrating keratoplasty (PK) although commonly performed has potential risk of immunological rejection and is now no longer automatically the first choice of surgery. DALK procedures h...
