Abstract
Anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) is indicated in patients with anterior corneal opacities. Benefits over penetrating keratoplasty include quicker visual rehabilitation, less postoperative astigmatism, and preservation of the host endothelium, thus minimizing the chances of graft rejection. A rare complication of lamellar corneal surgery is infectious interface keratitis between the donor and host tissue. We report a case of infectious interface keratitis following automated ALK successfully treated medically and by removal of the ALK disk, eventually having a deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with good visual recovery.
