Traditionally, patients with advanced keratoconus had very few options for treating corneal ectasia. In the early days, the only option they were offered was generally a full corneal transplant (penetrating keratoplasty). More recently, partial thickness corneal transplants (anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK, DALK)) came into play as a slightly less invasive procedure. Intrastromal corneal ring segments, […]
