Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of a manual microkeratome and an artificial anterior chamber for lamellar keratoplasty (the ALTK® system). Methods: twenty one eyes with superficial corneal opacities had been submitted to lamellar keratectomy. In recipient eyes the keratectomy was performed as in refractive surgery. The donor flap was removed from the preserved corneal shell using the same microkeratome and an artificial anterior chamber. The lamella thickness was measured by an ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in postoperative time. Results: The surgeries were accomplished successfully in 19 eyes. 75% of the flaps obtained in donated corneas and 83,3% of the flaps in recipient eyes had a variation of even 0,5mm of th...
