DMEK graft: One size does not fit all

Mohit Parekh et al.

Summary: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a popular surgical procedure for treating Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK). The size of the graft is crucial for the success of the procedure, with smaller grafts being preferred. However, larger diameter grafts pose challenges due to higher detachment rates.

Descemet Membrane Endothelial Transfer (DMET) in Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy After DSEK-A Case Report and Review of Literature

Venugopal Anitha et al.

Summary: This study reported a case of graft dislocation after Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty in a patient with PBK and explored the mechanism of DMET. The results showed that corneal clarity gradually improved over 3 months without secondary surgical intervention. The study also found that the mechanism of DMET in PBK is different from Fuch endothelial dystrophy.

Cataract surgery and intraocular lens placement in patients with Fuchs corneal dystrophy: a review of the current literature

Majid Moshirfar et al.

Summary: Late-onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a condition that affects approximately 4% of individuals over the age of 40. Ophthalmologists need to consider various factors before, during, and after cataract surgery in FECD patients, including evaluation of endothelial cell size and density, as well as minimizing the risk of corneal decompensation. Preoperative management involves assessing the severity of FECD and individual factors, while perioperative techniques and lens selection can optimize visual outcomes.

Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss in Glaucoma and Glaucoma Surgery and the Utility of Management with Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK)

Neeru A. Vallabh et al.

Summary: The corneal endothelium plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy cornea, but its loss can occur naturally with age and can be exacerbated by glaucoma and its treatments. This review explores the abnormalities observed in the corneal endothelium in different glaucoma phenotypes and evaluates the use of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in managing corneal endothelial failure for glaucoma patients.

Global Prevalence of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD) in Adult Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Francesco Aiello et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the global prevalence of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). The results showed that the estimated prevalence of FECD is 7.33% globally, with significant gender-related differences. It is projected that the number of FECD-affected patients will increase by 41.7% by 2050, reaching a total of 415 million. This study provides important epidemiological data for the development of screening, treatment, rehabilitation, and public health strategies for FECD.

An Overview of Intraoperative OCT-Assisted Lamellar Corneal Transplants: A Game Changer?

Matteo Mario Carla et al.

Summary: Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) is a noninvasive imaging technique that provides real-time feedback for surgical procedures. iOCT has been successfully used in anterior and posterior lamellar keratoplasty, offering advantages such as standardization of techniques, reduction of failures, and improved graft apposition.

Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty in complex eyes

Aazim Siddiqui et al.

Summary: DMEK surgery has become standardized for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy and simple bullous keratopathy, but poses challenges in complex eyes due to poor visualization, complex anatomy, altered chamber dynamics, glaucoma shunts, and missing or altered iris and lens. Feasibility of DMEK in complex eyes has been reported in literature, but there is a lack of consensus on techniques. Both surgical standardization and prospective data are needed to clarify DMEK's role in corneal rehabilitation of complex eyes.

Clinical outcome of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) with imported donor corneas in eyes of Asian patients; endothelium-in versus endothelium-out method

Young-Ho Jung et al.

Summary: The study found that the use of imported pre-cut tissue for DMEK surgery in Asian patients is feasible. Both the endothelium-in and endothelium-out methods show comparable clinical outcomes, and corneal edema-induced anterior curvature changes do not affect refractive error.

Endothelial keratoplasty with anterior chamber intraocular lens versus secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens

Jyh Haur Woo et al.

Summary: This study found that eyes undergoing Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) had poorer long-term graft survival compared to those with secondary posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL). Intraocular lens exchange was not associated with a higher complication rate, and in eyes with ACIOL, the recommendation is to perform IOL exchange and/or secondary PCIOL implantation combined with endothelial keratoplasty in cases of aphakic bullous keratopathy (ABK) or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK).

Summary: This study evaluated changes in the anterior chamber of eyes that underwent DMEK, finding a significant increase in ACV postoperatively along with a hyperopic change in SE. The increase in ACV was negatively correlated with preoperative ACD and SSA, but positively correlated with postoperative ACD and SSA.

Corneal transplantation after failed grafts: Options and outcomes

Jorge L. Alio del Barrio et al.

Summary: Corneal transplantation is a common procedure worldwide, but corneal graft failure has become a common indication for re-transplantation. Lamellar transplant techniques have introduced new complications for graft failure, but also offer advantages over penetrating keratoplasty in terms of reducing intra-operative risks and faster visual recovery.

Outcomes after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty over a period of 7 years at a tertiary referral center: endothelial cell density, central corneal thickness, and visual acuity

Tarek Bayyoud et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of eyes with differing starting conditions following Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty. Both groups showed significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity at year 1 postoperatively, with group 1 demonstrating superior results. Complications were less common, and graft longevity was superior in group 1. More long-term studies are needed to further investigate the effects of different starting conditions on surgical outcomes.

Challenges in the complex management of post-keratoplasty glaucoma

Lisa-Marie Anders et al.

Summary: Post-keratoplasty glaucoma is a serious complication that can result in vision loss due to corneal endothelial decompensation. Endothelial keratoplasty procedures may be more effective in preventing glaucoma than penetrating keratoplasty. Certain corneal diseases such as pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, corneal perforation, and graft rejection have a higher risk of post-keratoplasty glaucoma.
