Figure 1 Two cases with successful surgery. Case 1. (A) 37-year-old female with a corneal perforation from Herpes Simplex keratitis. (B) Positive Seidel test. (C) Lamellar graft was performed with a good result at one-year follow-up (pre- and postoperative BCVA from hand movement to 20/200). Case 2. (D) A 69-year-old female with a corneal descemetocele from Herpes Simplex keratitis. (E) Negative Seidel test. (F) The graft was harvested from residual tissue after DSAEK. A good result was observed at one-year follow-up (pre and postoperative BCVA from hand movement to 20/120).
