In conventional penetrating keratoplasty (PK), sutures are passed approximately 90% deep into the donor and host cornea whereas in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), it is preferable to pass sutures at approximately 50% depth in the donor tissue and 90% depth in the host tissue for better apposition of the DM to the donor tissue.
