title: [Simple keratectomy in band-shaped degeneration of the cornea (author's transl)].
abstract: In a case of band-shaped keratopathy chemical solution of the opacity failed but it proved easy to remove Bowman's membrane by grasping it with a forceps and pulling it off. As a result the cornea became clear and vision improved up to 6/7ths.
