To report the achievement rate of bare Descemet membrane (DM) dissection with the help of microbubble incision technique in eyes with failed big bubble formation and to investigate the mechanism of the microbubble rescue technique through ex vivo imaging of human cadaver corneas. ⋯ Microbubble-guided DALK should be considered an effective rescue technique in achieving bare DM in eyes with failed big bubble. Our ex vivo experiment illustrated the possible alterations in cornea anatomy during this technique.
