Midstromal implant of an isolated Bowman layer graft is a new approach to reduce ectasia in eyes with advanced keratoconus. The procedure should postpone penetrating or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Ten eyes of 9 patients with progressive, advanced keratoconus and contact lens intolerance underwent the procedure with no intraoperative adverse events. Throughout the study period, we observed no complications related to stromal dissection and/or the Bowman layer graft. Maximum corneal power decreased from a mean (SD) of 74.5 (7.1) diopters (D) before to 68.3 (5.6) D after surgery (P = .002). Hence, implant of an isolated Bowman layer graft may offer a safe and effective new technique to reduce ectasia in eyes with advanced keratoconus, potentially allowing continued long-term contact lens wear. The low risk of complications may render the procedure suitable as a treatment to postpone penetrating or deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty in cases with impending contact lens intolerance and/or corneal scarring (clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01686906).
