Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty
Conditions
Brief summary
Reporting our anatomical and functional results and the possible complications of the first six Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) performed in our department secondary to endothelial decompensation after penetrating keratoplasty.
Detailed description
A retrospective and observational monocentric study fo six patients with DSAEK after prior penetrating keratoplasty (PK). The data collected are: demographic characteristics, ophthalmological comorbidities, initial indication of PK, delay between PK and DSAEK. Preoperative Visual Acuity and at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperative were collected in logmar for analysis. The central cornea and graft thickness measured in OCT as well as the postoperative complications were also collected.
