Preparation of ultrathin grafts for Descemet-stripping endothelial keratoplasty with a single microkeratome pass

We present a technique to achieve ultrathin Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). Using a simple method of controlling artificial anterior chamber pressure and drying the corneal surface, it was possible to thin the donor cornea at a rate of 11 μm a minute. When the donor co...
