Comparison of Outcomes of Lamellar Keratoplasty and Penetrating Keratoplasty in Keratoconus

Visual acuity outcomes of the DALKa technique are comparable with those of PK for keratoconus, whereas DALK surgery results in fewer postoperative complications than PK. DALKa is emerging as a preferred choice among the lamellar techniques for better optical outcome. Further studies are required to provide long-term analysis of these results.
