title: Double anterior chamber deep lamellar keratoplasty: case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report a case in which, although we planned to perform a penetrating keratoplasty for corneal stromal opacity with normal corneal endothelium, the host's Descemet's membrane became inadvertently detached and the operation resulted in double anterior chamber deep lamellar keratoplasty (DLKP).
  
  
  RESULTS
  After surgery, the patient's corrected visual acuity was 20/30.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Double anterior chamber DLKP is safe and valuable.
