Bowman layer inlay and outlay transplantation is a cutting-edge surgical technique that has revolutionized the field of corneal transplantation. This novel technique entails the transfer of the Bowman layer, a slender layer of the cornea, with the purpose of rectifying diverse corneal abnormalities and enhancing visual results. The Bowman layer inlay and outward trans-plantation approach differs from typical corneal transplantation methods by specifically targeting and replacing the affected layer of the cornea, rather than replacing the whole cornea. This method has many benefits, including accelerated healing periods, less chance of rejection, and enhanced visual acuity. Bowman layer inlay and outlay transplanting is recommended for several corneal diseases and illnesses. Common indications for this operation include keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, corneal scarring, corneal ectasia, and corneal abnormalities. This article will examine the complexities of Bowman layer inlay and outward transplanting, its uses, and the possible advantages it provides to individuals with corneal diseases. Bowman layer inlay and outlay transplanting appropriateness for each unique instance is evaluated by a comprehensive review of the patient’s particular condition and demands.

Keywords: Bowman’s layer inlay transplantation, Bowman’s layer onlay transplantation; Keratoconus.
