IOL opacification can occur in eyes previously subjected to DSEK. The majority of patients subjected to DSEK are pseudophakic; surgeons should be aware of this possible complication. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been described in the literature to date. Further research is required to elucidate the nature of such IOL opacifications and possible ways to prevent them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
