TL;DR: Intrastromal injection of OVD after failed pneumatic dissection increases considerably the success rate of bubble formation, however, when bubble formation fails, infiltration of OVM into the residual stroma makes manual dissection particularly challenging and causes severe interface haze resulting in poor visual outcomes.

TL;DR: Corneal wedge resection combined with paired, opposed clear corneal penetrating relaxing incisions is a suitable surgical option for the treatment of PMCD, providing early adequate astigmatic control with long-term stability.

TL;DR: MG function, loss, and quality significantly worsened after HSCT, and myeloablative conditioning regimen was associated with higher MGL.

TL;DR: The standardized DALK technique using a deep trephination allows high success rates of pneumatic dissection even for surgeons inexperienced in keratoplasty, and correlated with surgical experience.

TL;DR: The use of viscoelastic substance in the VB-DALK technique may induce modification of interface stromal reflectivity resulting in reduced visual acuity up to 3 months postoperatively, but this initial negative effect on the interface quality does not affect the long-term visual outcome.
