ABSTRACT

Purpose: To compare the corneal confocal microscopy findings after deep lamellar keratoplasty between the air bubble technique and the femtosoconds surgical laser technique.
Methods: 10 eyes that had undergone air bubble dissection technique (group A) and 11 eyes that had undergone femtoseconds laser technique (group B) were examined all at 1 month after surgery with the confocal microscopy. Findings were compared between both groups.
Results: Hipper-reflective particles were found in 100% of bought groups at the donor- host interface. Particles were bigger in group A than in group B. Folds were found at the deeper portion of the corneal donor stroma.
Conclusion: We assume that the finding of smaller interface particles with the femtoseconds' laser means less corneal stroma trauma by using this technique.
