- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to find a double anterior chamber increase in patients undergoing deep anterior lamellar transplantation (DALK) who had intraoperative perforation and received donor corneas with Descemet's Membrane (MD), proven by biomicroscopy and/or optical computed tomography (OCT) of anterior segment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the visual and topographic results and the complication rate of patients undergoing deep anterior lamellar transplantation (DALK) who had intraoperative perforation of the recipient's Descemet's Membrane (MD) and received donor corneas with or without Descemet's Membrane (MD), through visual acuity examination, biomicroscopy, corneal tomography, specular microscopy and contact lens testing.
