Cornea

December 2022

Dr. Agarwal's Eye Hospital and Eye Research Centre, Chennai, India. Dr. Kavya Nidhi is now with the Department of Ophthalmology, Arvind eye hospital, Coimbatore, India.

Purpose: To assess the changes in the posterior corneal curvature after pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) and correlate with the visual outcomes.

Methods: Eyes with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, aphakic bullous keratopathy, and Fuchs dystrophy undergoing PDEK were included. The main outcome measures were the topography (OrbscanIIz, Bausch and Lomb) indices-total corneal power (TCP) in diopters (D), radius of the posterior curvature (mm), and best-fit sphere of the posterior corneal surface (BFS in D) at preoperative and postoperative 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.
