The Discovery Eye Foundation Board Member, Dr. James Salz interviews Dr. Roger Steinert, Chair of Ophthalmology at the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute at the Univ. of CA, Irvine, about a major advance in corneal transplant surgery for patients with keratoconus using the femtosecond laser to more accurately remove the front portion of the cornea while leaving the back portion ( with the critical endothelial layer of the cornea) in place. This allows for more accurate suturing, less posop astigmatism, and a decrease risk of rejection.
