Video will show surgical technique and outcomes of a variable thickness non-penetrating foldable artificial cornea which has been developed. This device is able to treat a wide variety of corneal pathologies including corneal scars, corneal dystrophies, corneal edema, limbal stem cell deficiency and keratoconus. The ability to choose the thickness of the implant allows the surgeon to implant the device at the appropriate depth to treat the corneal pathology.
