LASIK for hyperopia correction pos DSAEK(Descement Stripping Automated Endotelial Keratoplasty)

Abstract

DSAEK (Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty) is one of the options for corneal endothelium disease, which in some patients can result in a residual hyperopia after the procedure. Usually 6 to 12 months after corneal transplantation refraction is already stable. This report describes a therapeutic option used in a 54 years old patient with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy submitted to cataract and corneal transplant that resulted in residual hyperopia, three years after the procedure the best corrected vision was 20/20 with a refraction of +3.25-1.00 (5 °) treated with Hyperopic-LASIK (Laser-assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) with satisfactory visual result.
