Vanathi %J Archive of "The Open Ophthalmology Journal". %D 2018 %R 10.2174/1874364101812010130 %X Recent advances in corneal practice & research have largely been centered around interests concerning the endothelial keratoplasty, corneal biomechanics and collagen cross linking of the corneal stroma. This special issue of OPEN OPHTHALMOLOGY JOURNAL addresses these interests with an elaboration of the outcomes of endothelial keratoplasty procedures of Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and Pre-Descemet¡¯s Endothelial Keratoplasty (PDEK), a perspective on future potent therapies for Fuch's Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a comprehensive review on corneal biomechanics in LASIK and Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) and on practical applications of collagen cross linking along with the outcomes of Lasik Xtra %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6062899/
