OCT-guided LALAK for KCN

The purpose of this study is to determine if a new procedure, called laser-assisted lamellar anterior keratoplasty (LALAK), can achieve the same level of vision with a lower risk of potential complications after surgery compared to another corneal transplant procedure. The current procedure is called Intralase-enabled keratoplasty (IEK) and replaces the entire cornea. The LALAK procedure involves transplanting only the top layers of the cornea instead of the entire cornea. Only one eye will have this experimental procedure performed. If both eyes need to have surgery your doctor will help you decide on the best non-study option for your other eye.
