Long-term Outcomes in Fellow Eyes Comparing DSAEK and DMEK for Treatment of Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy.

Purpose: To compare the long-term results of Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in fellow eyes for treatment of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

Methods: This study is a 2-centered, retrospective case series of 64 patients (128 eyes) with DSAEK followed by DMEK. The main outcomes measured were best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and duration of time to achieve BSCVA as well as eye preference.

Immediate Postoperative Intraocular Pressure Adjustment Reduces Risk of Cystoid Macular Edema after Uncomplicated Micro Incision Coaxial Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To determine the accuracy of visual estimation of immediate postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) following microincision cataract surgery (MICS) and the effect of immediate postoperative IOP adjustment on prevention of cystoid macular edema (CME).

Setting: Ambulatory surgical center.

Methods: Prospective, randomized analysis of 170 eyes in 135 patients with MICS, performed in a Medicare approved outpatient ambulatory surgery center.
