Femtosecond Assisted Deep Lamellar Keratoplasty in a 4½ Year Old Child for Traumatic and Infectious Corneal scar- A Case Report

Purpose: To report a case of central deep corneal scar secondary to trauma and subsequently resolved fungal infection in a 4½ year old and secondary amblyopia treated with femtosecond-assisted deep lamellar keratoplasty (FALK). Methods: A 4½ year old male patient with reduced vision and photophobia as a result of a centrally dense mid-stromal corneal scar in the right eye was referred to Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, University of California, Irvine, by an out of state ophthalmologist for consideration of femtosecondassisted laser lamellar keratoplasty. Following a complete ocular examination, FALK was performed under general anesthesia.
