All patients underwent DLK with manual dissection from a limbal side port after an air bubble injection in the anterior chamber. The patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic examinations months after the suture removal, evaluating best-corrected visual acuity, corneal thickness, endothelial cell count, and topographic astigmatism.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n One case (11.1%) was converted to penetrating keratoplasty because of micro-perforation. In the eight successful cases, 7 eyes (77.8%) achieved 20\/30 or better visual acuity 6 months after suture removal. Mean postoperative pachymetry was 604.76\u03bcm (SD 46.76).
