Cornea ESASO Course Series, Vol. 6 ESASO Course Series, Vol. 6

Over the past ten years tremendous progress has been achieved in corneal surgery. This volume - the 6th in the

ESASO Course Series - reflects the most relevant topics ranging from basic knowledge to the most advanced

techniques. It covers the functional anatomy with medical and surgical management of the ocular surface,

provides information on high-risk corneal transplantation and explains techniques such as corneal collagen

crosslinking, femtosecond laser-assisted penetrating deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and descemet

membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Further contributions describe how to manage astigmatism after

corneal transplantation as well as indications of intrastroma corneal ring segments (ICRS) in keratoconus.

Well-known corneal and ocular surface surgeons and refractive surgery specialists share their experience in

this publication, making it a must-read for every anterior segment surgeon, especially those performing corneal

surgery and using corneal refractive procedures.
