title: [Cosmetic interlamellar keratoplasty].
abstract: Interlamellar transplantation of the cornea was performed with cosmetic purpose in 9 patients with blind eyes (coarse vascularized leukoma in 5 and cataracts with newly formed iridal and anterior chamber vessels in 4) and in 2 with peripheral leukomas. The technique of interlamellar keratoplasty consisted in transplantation of a stained disk of donor cornea in the recipient's corneal membrane layers or stratification of the peripheral leukoma followed by carbon black staining. The operation is simple, little traumatic, and brings about a good cosmetic effect in the cases when other methods are impossible to use; the risk of intra- and postoperative complications is minimal.
