Abstrakt:	Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the clinical outcomes and prognosis of femtosecond laser (FSL)-assisted double-docking deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DD-DALK) for advanced keratoconus (AK). Methods: Records of consecutive patients with keratoconus who underwent FSL-assisted DALK (DD-DALK) were reviewed. Results: We analyzed 37 eyes from 37 patients who underwent DD-DALK. Sixty-eight percent of eyes had a successful big-bubble formation and 27% had a manual dissection to achieve the DALK deep dissection. Stromal scarring was associated with not achieving a big bubble. Intraoperative conversion to penetrating keratoplasty was conducted in 2 cases (5%). The best-corrected visual acuity improved from a median (± interquartile range) of 1.55 ±0.25 logMAR preoperatively to 0.2 ±0.2 logMAR ( P < 0.0001). The median postoperative spherical equivalent was -5.75 ±2.75 D with a median astigmatism of -3.5 ±1.3 D. BCVA, SE, and astigmatism were not statistically different between patients who underwent DD-DALK and patients who underwent manual DALK. Stromal scarring was associated with big-bubble (BB) formation failure ( P = 0.003). All patients with failed BB requiring manual dissection had anterior stromal scarring. Conclusions: DD-DALK is safe and reproducible. The success rate of BB formation is hampered by stromal scarring. (Copyright © 2023 The Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.)
