  • Title: Variant of the big bubble technique in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
    Author: Fournié P, Malecaze F, Coullet J, Arné JL.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2007 Mar; 33(3):371-5. PubMed ID: 17321383.
    Abstract:
    We describe a variant of the big-bubble technique that involves placement of a stromal corneal nick and nontraumatic intrastromal insertion of a blunt cannula following anterior lamellar keratectomy. The goal of this technique is to reduce the risk for intraoperative corneal perforation and to obtain a large air bubble between Descemet's membrane and the corneal stroma. Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty is easier and safer with this technique.
