Abstract

Purpose:To describe a method to center a Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty lamellar graft and address interface folds.Methods:A novel technique to center a Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty graft without undue manipulation of endothelial surface using a STC-6 needle passed obliquely through the anterior corneal surface to engage and progress the lenticule along the posterior surface after injection of air.Result:Centration of graft achieved and macroscopic folds resolved.Conclusions:Here, we describe an atraumatic and reproducible method for graft centration.
