Abstract
The DLEK procedure, with its absence of corneal surface incisions and sutures, preserves the normal corneal topography, minimizes astigmatism, and provides a healthy donor endothelial cell count and function. The DLEK procedure represents a reasonable alternative to PK, and compared with historical PK data, offers superior refractive outcomes in the treatment of endothelial dysfunction.
