Descemetocele

Descemetocele
Stromal bridge in a large descemetocele in a case of neurodermatitis and keratoconjunctivitis. Superficial and deep neovascularization. To preserve the eye a temporary small keratoplasty is indicated. (A large keratoplasty in all likelyhood would bs accompanied bye loosening of the sutures between 5 - 10 o'clock and by an immun reaction). Later, an autologous excentric rotational keratoplasty is planned away from the visual axis.
