Femtosecond Laser and Big-Bubble Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty: A New Chance

Figure 1

The dotted arrow shows the channel created in the recipient by the IntraLase femtosecond laser (30° angled, 25° arc length, and 6.0 mm diameter), 50 μ above the thinnest corneal site. The horizontal black dotted line shows the recipient lamellar cut 7.5 mm in diameter created 100 μ above the thinnest corneal site. The dotted profile shows the border line of corneal stroma after the mushroom lamella has been removed (anterior diameter of 8.0 mm and posterior diameter of 7.0 mm).
