Abstract:
Tissue for lamellar corneal surgical procedures is usually harvested from whole eyes. We describe a surgical technique for the rehabilitation of corneoscleral defects with lamellar keratoplasty in which the donor tissue is obtained from a preserved corneoscleral button instead of a whole globe. This technique is illustrated with a case involving the treatment of a limbal dermoid in a 26-month-old boy.
