- Descemets' Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) for Fuchs' and other endothelial dystrophies (i.e. posterior polymorphous dystrophy), post-cataract surgery edema (aphakic or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy) and some of failed PK.
- Superficial Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (SALK) indicated in the treatment of superficial corneal opacities resulting from previous refractive surgical procedures, infections, degenerations, dystrophies, superficial scars or trauma.
- Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) indicated when a thicker stromal lamella should be removed: keratoconus, post-herpetic scars, post-infectious opacities, some corneal dystrophies, and alkali or acid burn lesions.
- Mushroom and Lap joint Keratoplasty indicated in patients with full-thickness central stromal opacities but normal endothelium.
