Article Synopsis
- The study compares DSAEK and DMEK outcomes performed by a skilled surgeon, focusing on patients with Fuchs corneal dystrophy.
- This retrospective analysis involved 200 eyes across 132 patients and tracked postoperative complications and visual acuity, revealing that while DMEK offered better vision at six months, it also showed higher endothelial cell loss and complications like posterior synechiae.
- Overall, transitioning from DSAEK to DMEK can lead to excellent visual outcomes with minimal complications, emphasizing the importance of following standardized surgical techniques.
Article Synopsis
- Study aimed to assess the impact of preoperative graft thickness (GT) on visual acuity and recovery speed after DSAEK surgery.
- No significant correlations were found between GT and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) at any time points (1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months), indicating that GT does not influence vision recovery speed.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that GT measurements do not predict visual outcomes post-surgery, as there was no difference in BSCVA between "thin" and "thick" grafts at any assessed time.
