Purpose: To describe how to approach eyes with phakic or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy that have an anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC IOL) using thin Descemet-stripping endothelial keratoplasty (thin-DSEK) or Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) with or without AC IOL removal.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Design: Comparative case series.
Purpose: To determine the various causes of unexpected incomplete visual rehabilitation at 6 months postoperative after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
Design: Retrospective study of prospectively collected data at a tertiary referral center.
Methods: From a larger group of 400 consecutive DMEK surgeries, the last 200 consecutive eyes were reviewed for visual discomfort despite a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of ≥20/25 (≥0.
Purpose: To report the outcomes of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) using a large diameter graft in the management of endothelial decompensation in buphthalmic eyes.
Methods: Four eyes of 4 adults (1 man, 3 women) with bullous keratopathy and buphthalmos secondary to congenital glaucoma were treated with DMEK using posterior lamellar grafts with diameters ranging from 10 to 12 mm. The mean age was 31 (±9) years (range, 20-38 years).
Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of early anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) on graft adherence or detachment after Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
Design: Retrospective study of prospectively collected data at a tertiary referral center.
Participants: A total of 87 eyes of 87 patients of a consecutive series of 142 DMEK surgeries.
Objective: To report the 6 months results of a large prospective study on Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for management of corneal endothelial disorders.
Methods: DMEK was performed in 300 consecutive eyes with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, bullous keratopathy or previous corneal transplant failure. Best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refractive outcome and endothelial cell density (ECD) were evaluated before and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.
Purpose: To describe corneal clearance after re-endothelialization of the recipient posterior stroma through Descemet membrane endothelial transfer (DMET) (ie, a "free-floating" donor Descemet graft in the recipient anterior chamber after descemetorhexis), in managing corneal endothelial disorders.
Design: Nonrandomized prospective study at a tertiary referral center.
Methods: Twelve eyes enrolled in our study, 7 suffering from Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and 5 with bullous keratopathy.
Purpose: To report the intraoperative performance and postoperative outcomes of the Cionni-modified capsule tension ring (CTR) implantation in eyes with subluxated lenses.
Design: Prospective, observational case series.
Methods: This study was carried out at Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre, Ahmedabad, India.
