Khodaparast M, Shahraki K, Jabbarvand M, et al. - In the present study, the researchers tested the effectiveness and safety of a bioengineered corneal implant using femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty for superficial corneal opacities. The study included 6 eyes of 6 consecutive patients with superficial corneal stromal opacities involving < 220 μm due to various pathologies. Corrected distance visual acuity significantly improved in all individuals. Femtosecond laser–assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty with bioengineered corneal (linkcor) implantation is an effective procedure to enhance the quality of vision in anterior stromal opacities. This technique eliminates the need for human donor tissue and prevents complications caused by the human donor and suturing. No intraoperative or early postoperative complications have been observed.
