Abstract:Purpose
Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is a partial thickness corneal graft which involves replacing a recipient’s Descemet’s membrane and endothelium with healthy tissue. Main advantages include rapid visual recovery, fewer higher order aberrations and low rejection rate. However, DMEK is technically challenging and requires advanced surgical skills. The aim of the audit was to assess visual outcomes of DMEK performed at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital (L&D), United Kingdom.
