Shown in this video is a procedure called 'Minimally Invasive Lamellar Keratoplasty' (MILK), also known commonly as a 'Lamellar Inlay.' It is carried out by creating a femtosecond laser-assisted corneal pocket.
It is estimated that the invasiveness of the procedure is only 1/10 compared to that of a traditional Lamellar Keratoplasty procedure. Furthermore, it only takes on average 3 minutes to preform.
This is a promising procedure that will make a difference in the treatment of Keratoconus in cases where it will likely give the best overall results (which could be in conjunction to other interventions) and at the same time be the least invasive option in the particular case.
