Tuck in femtosecond laser assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty (T-FALK) for the management of superficial anterior corneal scars-A modified technique
Cornea Dec 04, 2020
Sharma VK, Sati A, Kaushik J, et al. - In this prospective interventional case series, researchers reported a modified sutureless and glue-less technique, termed tuck in femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty (T-FALK), and achieved a good graft–host junction apposition. Participants in the study were 15 patients (15 eyes) who underwent T-FALK. Using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT), depth of the anterior corneal scar was evaluated. Using a femtosecond laser, the donor and recipient lenticules were prepared. No intraoperative or postoperative complications have been reported during T-FALK. As shown by ASOCT, all patients had good graft–host junction apposition postoperatively. For the management of superficial anterior corneal scars with the good visual outcome, sutureless and glue-less T-FALK can be the best way ahead.
