Outcomes of Repeat Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty in Keratoconus: Case Series

Repeat DALK is a safe and effective alternative to penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for failed primary DALK, offering high graft survival and favorable visual outcomes while minimizing immune-related complications. Postoperative adherence and timely steroid management are critical for optimizing success. Further studies comparing repeat DALK and repeat PK are needed to assess long-term endothelial health and visual stability.

Abstract

Repeat DALK is a safe and effective alternative to penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for failed primary DALK, offering high graft survival and favorable visual outcomes while minimizing immune-related complications. Postoperative adherence and timely steroid management are critical for optimizing success. Further studies comparing repeat DALK and repeat PK are needed to assess long-term endothelial health and visual stability.
