To evaluate the clinical outcomes of cornea transplantation (penetrating keratoplasty, Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty, Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty, and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty) using donor corneas stored in Eusol-C hypothermic storage medium compared to corneas stored in organ-culture. : The clinical outcomes of 92 patients who underwent corneal transplantation with human donor corneas stored in Eusol-C medium at 2-8 °C were retrospectively evaluated. The control group consisted of 169 patients who received corneas organ-cultured at 31 °C.

We describe retrospectively the indications and outcomes of nine patients who present with varying degrees of deep posterior stromal scarring or endothelial failure following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). These patients underwent a surgical strategy coined Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (iFAD). This strategy can be used to address suboptimal visual outcomes following primary DALK.

Background: This study reports a rare case of delayed spontaneous resolution of double anterior chambers (AC) resulting from non-rhegmatogenous Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Currently, management guidelines for this condition have not been established.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old woman with lattice corneal dystrophy underwent uncomplicated DALK, during which an unrecognized type 2 big bubble was present.
