Corneal Transplantation in Ocular Surface Disease

Key Concepts A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for ocular surface reconstruction. Optimizing the ocular surface is vital prior to performing keratoplasty. Two-stage approach is preferred over simultaneous ocular surface reconstruction and keratoplasty. Systemic immunosuppression is generally well tolerated and safe.…

Outcomes of Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty

Key Concepts Descemet stripping (automated) endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/DSAEK) provides rapid visual recovery. Postoperative complications can be minimized with careful intraoperative technique. DSEK/DSAEK yields 20/25–20/30 vision 1–3 years after surgery. DSEK/DSAEK causes minimal refractive change. DSEK/DSAEK maintains a physiologic corneal surface…
