Authors' recommendations:
The technique of endokeratoplasty has undergone several refinements since its initial experimentation on eye bank eyes (Melles et al. 1998). While the visual acuity results varied between authors, most consider the procedure advantageous in regards to visual acuity and recovery time. Available results infer endokeratoplasty may be an effective alternative to penetrating keratoplasty (Terry and Ousley 2003).
