C orneal transplantation has changed rapidly over the last 20 years. In spite of the fact that endothelial keratoplasty has become the most dominant procedure, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), the anterior lamellar procedure, has not become so popular. There are several reasons for this, and this editorial will attempt to give some useful tips, that may not be found in papers or books, in the hope of helping people performing or starting off on their DALK journey.
