AIM: To describe a novel technique for the safe manual dissection of thin donor lenticules in 10 consecutive patients undergoing DSEK surgery.METHODS: A key element of our new technique was to presoak the donor cornea in balanced salt solution (BSS) for 30 min before manual dissection. The cornea wa

PURPOSE: Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is designed to halt the progression of keratoconus and corneal ectasia by inducing corneal stiffening. However, it currently is difficult to monitor and evaluate CXL outcome objectively due to the lack of suitable methods to characterize corneal mechanica
