Comparison Between Standard Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (S-DALK) and Intralase Enabled Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplaty (IE-DALK)

Keratoconus Clinical Trial

Official title:
Comparison Between Standard Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (S-DALK) and Intralase Enabled Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplaty (IE-DALK)

Clinical Trial Summary

A prospective comparison between standard deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (S-DALK) performed manually using a blade (trephine) and femtosecond laser-enabled deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (IE DALK), where incisions are performed using the femtosecond laser.

Clinical Trial Description

Even though corneal transplants have been around for more than 100 years, and tools to improve their surgical technique keep getting perfected, both regular and irregular postoperative astigmatism continue to be major concerns in achieving predictable visual results. Femtosecond laser technology allows for the creation of more precise incisions with more reproducible patterns, which could lead us to believe that astigmatism management and visual results should be improved with this technology. This would be the first study to prospectively analyze standard versus femtosecond laser-enabled deep anterior lamellar keratoplasties in order to elucidate their relative advantages in the quest for a gold standard. ;
