Lamellar keratoplasty encompasses several techniques which selectively replace diseased layers of the cornea while leaving healthy layers in place.
2.
One way of reducing the risk of rejection is to use a technique called deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty ( DALK ).
3.
Superficial corneal dystrophies do not need a penetrating keratoplasty as the deeper corneal tissue is unaffected, therefore a lamellar keratoplasty may be used instead.
4.
Von Hippel made contributions in his research of intraocular pressure, color blindness and near-sightedness, but is remembered for his pioneer work in lamellar keratoplasty.
5.
In the early 1990s, Dr . Manger took a special interest in Refractive surgery ( including Radial keratotomy and Automated lamellar keratoplasty ) to help patients become independent of their need for eyeglasses and contact lenses.
6.
When the entire cornea is replaced it is known as "'penetrating keratoplasty "'and when only part of the cornea is replaced it is known as "'lamellar keratoplasty " '.
7.
Dr . Nakajima has done research on many topics in ophthalmology, including Beh�et's disease, clinical investigations of lamellar keratoplasty, the epidemiology of age-related cataracts in Tibet, and experimental degeneration of the retina in mice.
8.
These procedures, called posterior lamellar keratoplasty or endothelial keratoplasty, were initially popularized as deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty ( DLEK ) and then evolved to Descemet s stripping endothelial keratoplasty ( DSEK ) / Descemet s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty ( DSAEK ) and more recently Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty ( DMEK ).
