Abstract:Background
Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is increasingly favored in the treatment of endothelial dysfunction due to its benefits, which include swift visual rehabilitation and recovery, a relatively low rejection rate, and superior refractive stability. In this study, we examined alterations in corneal clarity among patients who underwent DMEK and correlated these densitometry findings with other optical parameters of corneal topography.
