    Summary

    Keratoglobus, a condition causing thin corneas, prevents standard corneal transplants. This study details three successful keratoplasties using traction, offering a viable alternative for patients with severe corneal thinning.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Keratoplasty

    Context:

    • Keratoglobus presents a significant challenge for corneal transplantation due to extreme corneal thinning.
    • Standard penetrating keratoplasty is often not feasible in these cases.
    • Alternative surgical techniques are necessary to restore vision.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of keratoplasty with traction (Malbran technique) in patients with keratoglobus.
    • To report the surgical outcomes and visual results of this specific keratoplasty approach.

    Summary:

    • The study describes three cases of keratoplasty with traction performed on patients with keratoglobus.
    • The Malbran technique was employed to address the challenges posed by the thin recipient cornea.
    • Results from these three procedures are presented.

    Impact:

    • Demonstrates the potential of keratoplasty with traction as a treatment option for keratoglobus.
    • Provides evidence for the successful surgical management of severe corneal ectasia.
    • Offers hope for improved visual outcomes in patients previously ineligible for standard corneal grafts.
