Keratoplasty: are children missing out on the lamellar revolution—the 2023 Bowman Club, David L. Easty Lecture
View through CrossRef
There has been a growing interest in lamellar keratoplasty over penetrating keratoplasty in the treatment of cornea diseases. Children, in particular, may benefit from lamellar keratoplasty due to faster visual recovery, better outcomes, fewer eye drops and earlier amblyopia treatment. This review aims to examine the trends, surgical techniques and outcomes in paediatric lamellar keratoplasty. Additionally, alternative treatment modalities to keratoplasty such as selective endothelium removal in Peters anomaly and ophthalmic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs eyedrops in congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy are also discussed.
