This study will evaluate the outcomes of placing preserved corneal tissue within the keratoconic cornea in order to enhance thickness, stability, and optical conformation.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of placing preserved corneal tissue within the corneal stroma in keratoconus patients as a means of enhancing thickness, stability, and optical conformation.
