Case Report: Suspected Donor Transmission of Acanthamoeba Keratitis After Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty.

abstract：:An understanding of corneal optics is important to optimize the visual outcome after eye surgery. Recent advances in the surgical techniques of lamellar keratoplasty have changed the strategies used for corneal transplantation. Lamellar keratoplasty has the advantage of having a lower rate of graft rejection, superior...
