Four-Year Survival of Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty in Patients With Previous Glaucoma Surgery.

In eyes with previous glaucoma surgery, DMEK has good early outcomes, but longer-term rejection and failure rates are high. Physicians and patients should be cognizant of the high likelihood of graft failure in this setting.

Four-Year Survival Comparison of Endothelial Keratoplasty Techniques in Patients With Previous Glaucoma Surgery.

In eyes with previous glaucoma surgery, DMEK and DSAEK had comparably low survival and comparably high rejection rates. Postoperative visual acuity might be better after DMEK in this setting.

Risk Factors for Repeat Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Graft Failure.

Re-DMEK is a viable option for cases of primary DMEK failure, especially for eyes with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy as the indication for primary DMEK without other ocular morbidities; however, eyes categorized with a complicated…
