A modified deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty using intacs dissectors.

Purpose: To describe a new technique for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in the human eye.

Methods: We obtained globes from the San Diego Eye Bank and performed central and peripheral pachymetry measurements at the 8-mm optical zone. We made a radial incision at the edge of the optical zone at 90% depth of central corneal thickness.
