The parameters evaluated included patients\u2019 demographics, pre- and post-operative best corrected visual acuities, post-operative keratometry, and intra- and post-operative complications. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; There were 22 patients (23 eyes); 10 females and 12 males, with a mean age of 35 \u00b1 13 years (median, 33.5; range, 17\u201373). The median follow-up period was 13 months (range 7\u201338). In 89% (16\/18) of eyes which underwent DLK, and in which a visual acuity could be obtained, a best corrected visual acuity of at least 6\/12 was recorded. There were two episodes of Descemet\u2019s membrane perforation (8.7%), in which the procedure was converted to penetrating keratoplasty without complications. One patient developed a double anterior chamber, which resolved spontaneously without consequences. &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; The visual outcomes and complication rates seen in our series are comparable to the recent published literature. Hence DLK can be considered as a suitable alternative to penetrating keratoplasty for the surgical treatment of KC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000091759","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,5]],"date-time":"2006-05-05T10:43:21Z","timestamp":1146825801000},"page":"164-169","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Deep Lamellar Keratoplasty in the Treatment of Keratoconus"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"220","author":[{"given":"Nima","family":"Pakrou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shirley","family":"Fung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dinesh","family":"Selva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Chehade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Igal","family":"Leibovitch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.81.3.184"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00055735-200108000-00005"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.81.3.178"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-200009000-00006"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000050894"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00055735-199908000-00006"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-200205000-00009"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00055735-200008000-00002"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0886-3350%2801%2901181-6"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-199901000-00013"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ophtha.2004.02.010"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2004-812887"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-199903000-00005"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0002-9394%2802%2901523-4"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ajo.2003.09.053"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.85.7.788"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0161-6420%2899%2900002-0"}],"container-title":["Ophthalmologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/91759","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/91759","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T02:58:01Z","timestamp":1745463481000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000091759"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000091759","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-3755","1423-0267"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0030-3755"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0267"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006]]}}}
