Endothelial keratoplasty procedures continue to evolve

SAN DIEGO — Surgeons have become more precise transplanting less tissue, keynote speaker Francis W. Price Jr., MD, PhD, said in an address on the evolution of endothelial keratoplasty at the World Cornea Congress.“Endothelial keratoplasty is a disease-specific surgery relative to PK. We only replace the dysfunctional part of the cornea,” he said. “We get better visual results than PK and it’s safer for patients.”
