Two patients presented with localized corneal edema with a Descemet membrane (DM) tear in the left eye. Tomography of the right eye revealed localized steepening with increased maximum keratometry and decreased central pachymetry. They were diagnosed with keratoconus in the right eye and acute corneal hydrops (ACH) in the left eye. Compression sutures were passed through the stroma without touching the DM. The anterior chamber was not entered at all at any point during the surgery. Resolution of edema was noted intraoperatively itself. Further resolution of edema was noted from the first postoperative day which markedly reduced within the first week. A corneal scar with no edema was seen at six weeks. In both the patients, vision at presentation was counting fingers close to face which improved to 20\/60 and 20\/50, respectively, at the last visit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.ijo_2085_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,5]],"date-time":"2023-01-05T09:14:27Z","timestamp":1672910067000},"page":"281-286","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Partial-thickness compression sutures without descemetopexy for management of acute hydrops in keratoconus: A novel surgical technique"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Neha","family":"Jain","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cornea and Anterior Segment Services, L.
