Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) is the current preferred technique of Endothelial Keratoplasty and involves replacing only the inner endothelial cell layer, rather than the whole thickness of the cornea, as happens in a conventional full-thickness graft (ChadRostron.co.uk). This reference is a guide to the technique of DSAEK. Beginning with an introduction to the procedure and pre-operative evaluation, the following chapters discuss in detail different surgical techniques, including pre-operative preparation, anaesthesia, the procedure, post-operative follow up and complications. Authored by recognised specialists in Australia, Hong Kong and India, this comprehensive manual includes more than 230 full colour illustrations and radiographic images, as well as a DVD demonstrating surgical techniques.

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is the mainstay of treatment for corneal pathologies sparing the endothelium. This lamellar surgery has undergone a revolution in the past decades. Various techniques and their modifications have been described to make it safe and reproducible so that it can be performed not only by experts but also the novice corneal transplant surgeons. This book describes the evolution of DALK, indications, preoperative evaluation, the various methods of performing DALK and the postoperative outcomes. The issues related to procurement of donor corneas for such cases are discussed. The "different strokes" in DALK include the conventional Melles and the "Big bubble" technique and also the newer modifications such as "Double bubble" technique, cannula assisted DALK, groove and peel technique as well as diamond blade-guided DALK. The different types of modifications presented by eminent lamellar corneal transplant surgeons from all over the world, in this book are an endeavor to make DALK feasible by all corneal transplant surgeons.
The cornea is the clear, outer layer at the front of the eyeball. It acts as a window to the eye. The cornea helps to focus light rays onto the retina, this image is then transmitted to the brain. When the cornea is damaged, it can become less transparent or its shape can change. This can prevent light reaching the retina and causes the picture transmitted to the brain to be distorted or unclear. A corneal transplant, also known as keratoplasty or a corneal graft, is an operation to remove all or part of a damaged cornea and replace it with healthy donor tissue. It is used to improve sight, relieve pain and treat severe infection or damage. One of the most common reasons for a cornea transpl...
A decade after the introduction of the LASIK technique in refractive surgery, the technique has reached its maturity. Thoroughly researched and easy to read, Step by Step LASIK Surgery provides practical information regarding the various aspects of LASIK surgery. Expert LASIK surgeons share their experiences with this state-of-the-art surgical technique. The book is organized in a simple and effective style that presents a step-by-step approach to LASIK surgery. It includes information about the latest microkertomes and excimer laser machines and specific surgical techniques like LASEK, LASIK for post-penetrating keratoplasty, ametropias, and wavefront guided LASIK.

These Proceedings of the Fourth International Congress on the Cornea continue a tradition of summarizing the state-of-the art basic and clinical research in cornea and ex ternal diseases since the first Congress was held in 1964. Reflecting the emerging impor tance of refractive surgery, two of the twelve sessions of the Congress were devoted to refractive surgery; this is reflected in an emphasis in these Proceedings. In addition, an en tire session was devoted to the molecular and cellular biology of the cornea with impor tant new information on the role of growth factors and cytokine modulation of corneal wound healing. Within these Proceedings an international group of expert researchers...
Examining established and emerging treatments for the correction of hyperopia and presbyopia, this reference offers guidance on technologies such as thermal or conductive keratoplasty, corneal implants, laser scleral relaxation, scleral expansion rings, intraocular lenses, and LASIK modifications.

Implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) in a patient without adequate support for a posterior chamber (behind the iris of the lens) IOL is a complex procedure for ophthalmic surgeons. In the past, if an anterior chamber IOL was not possible, the only surgical option was suturing a posterior IOL. This book discusses the new technique of ‘glued intrascleral haptic fixation of a posterior chamber IOL’ (Glued IOL). Beginning with an introduction, the following chapters describe different surgical processes for glued IOL, for both common and less common conditions. The final section examines complications and imaging, and compares the techniques and results of glued IOLs and sutured IOLs. With c...
