Abstract:Objective: To compare the outcomes of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK) in patients with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK).
Methods: Records of 51 eyes of 51 PBK patients (32 male, 19 female) who underwent PK (Group1=38 eyes) and DMEK (Group 2=13 eyes) were reviewed retrospectively. The two groups were compared for Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), graft survival rates, and complications.
Results: The mean age was 69.1 and 67.1 years in group 1 and … Show more
