ALTK-DSEAK

ALTK enables surgeons to treat corneal pathologies using strictly extra-ocular techniques, avoiding the potential hazards and complications of penetrating keratoplasty. The ease with which ALTK can be mastered by surgeons experienced in refractive correction techniques opens a wide range of possible indications.
Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty Opacities of the cornea (anterior stromal and epithelial irregularity) : Band keratopathy Groenouw Aphakic or pseudophakic bulbous keratopathy Reis-Buckler Dystrophy Salzmann nodular degeneration Cicatrial Sequelae to keratitis caused by prior dystrophy Secondary to post-PRK haze
Endokeratoplasty ELK is a new and exciting procedure that the ALTK makes available as another option to full penetrating keratoplasty. Replace only the diseased endothelium Reduce post-op graft rejection Reduce post-op astigmatism Aphakic or pseudophakic bulbous keratopathy
Descemets' Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty DSAEK treats Fuchs' and other endothelial dystrophies (i.e. posterior polymorphous dystrophy), post-cataract surgery edema (aphakic or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy) and some of failed PK.
Corneal augmentation ALTK offers the refractive surgeon a safe and simple way to add corneal inlays to those patients with thin corneas.
Treatment of LASIK complications i.e. replacement of lost caps or melted flaps.
