  Purpose: To compare outcomes after Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and traditional Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) during the surgeon’s DMEK learning curve in a prospective, non-randomized, consecutive, interventional case series. Methods: Consecutive patients presenting to the university eye clinics and undergoing endothelial keratoplasty were included. Data including patient demographics, visual acuity, endothelial cell counts and complications were recorded at baseline, as well as 3 and 6 months post-operatively. The primary outcome for this study was BSCVA at 6 months. Pre-specified secondary outcomes included endothelial cell counts and complication rates. Results: A total of 60 eyes of 42 consecutive patients met inclusion criteria, underwent endothelial keratoplasty, and we.. View More»
