<br/><br/> Because of increasing numbers of DALK surgeries in recent years , comparison of visual and refractive outcomes after DALK and PK has been a research subject of interest . Although some studies have reported visual outcomes to be comparable , several others have documented less favourable results after DALK surgery . In this study , we aimed to extend the current information on the visual and optical performance outcomes in patients undergoing DALK or PK for corneal stromal opacities
