“…FSL-DLEK was performed thereafter by creating an intersecting posterior lamellar side cut. [ 96 , 97 ] We herein also illustrate one case. A patient with poor vision due to residual posterior corneal opacity after DALK underwent FSL-assisted DLEK combined with standard DMEK [ Figure 7a and b ].…”

“…The introduction of FSL would make this procedure more feasible with the creation of laser-assisted posterior side cut. [ 96 ] Alió del Barrio et al . described a combined surgical approach incorporating FSL-DLEK with DMEK for a patient with posterior corneal scarring secondary to viral endotheliitis.…”

Corneal transplantation is the only surgical option to improve symptoms and vision in patients with severe corneal opacification. With the evolution and development of keratoplasty techniques, corneal surgeons can perform customized keratoplasty, with complex graft–host junctions to promote wound healing and accelerate visual rehabilitation. Femtosecond laser (FSL) enable customization of the thickness and shape of the graft has been used for trephination of both donor and recipient corneas and for creating special wound configurations. In this review, we have summarized the intraoperative application and postoperative outcomes of FSL-assisted keratoplasties, including penetrating keratoplasty, anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK), deep ALK, Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (EK), and Descemet membrane EK. Although FSL allows for the customization and precision in keratoplasty, several concerns, such as cost-effectiveness, limit its wider clinical adoption. Hence, more work is required to weigh the advantages and limitations of the FSL applications in corneal transplantation.
