biostudies-literatureUnknown6Hsu MEndothelial keratoplasty is evolving with increased attention placed on the optical qualities of the posterior donor lenticule. In efforts to improve visual outcomes, the effects of the thickness, smoothness, and planar profile are being studied. This paper describes a double-pass microkeratome technique to create ultra-thin (less than 100 ?m) Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty grafts.Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.)425-32https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC3334217biostudies-literatureDouble-pass microkeratome technique for ultra-thin graft preparation in Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.PMC3334217Hereth WLHsu MMoshirfar MfalseDouble-pass microkeratome technique for ultra-thin graft preparation in Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.Endothelial keratoplasty is evolving with increased attention placed on the optical qualities of the posterior donor lenticule.
