Visual Outcomes Following Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty — VO-DSAEK

Corneal Endothelial Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title:
Visual Outcomes Following Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty for Corneal Endothelial Dysfunction

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To assess objective and subjective visual outcomes achieved by patients with corneal endothelial dysfunction who have undergone surgical treatment with Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).

Clinical Trial Description

Since 2006, the technique by removing the Descemet membrane from the recipient cornea was renamed Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). In recent years, DSAEK techniques have evolved, favoring increasingly thinner and finer grafts, known as ultrathin DSAEK (UT DSAEK), with the aim of obtaining better visual results.

Endothelial keratoplasty is now the most common surgical procedure used to treat endothelial dysfunction. The current study focused on assessing both objective and subjective visual quality outcomes following DSAEK. ;
